Writers use "atone" to depict the act of making amends for past misdeeds, often imbuing the term with deep moral or spiritual significance. In some works, the word conjures images of penitence and redemption, where characters seek to balance the scales of justice through personal sacrifice or corrective actions, as when a character resolves to atone for his transgressions through future service or noble deeds ([1], [2]). In other contexts, the term is employed in a more ironic or even mundane fashion, such as atoning for minor offenses or personal quirks—illustrating that the desire to make things right permeates both grand and everyday narratives ([3], [4]). Whether addressing profound moral failings or lighter, social missteps, authors consistently use "atone" to evoke the universal human impulse to repair what has been broken, weaving accountability and the hope for redemption throughout their works ([5], [6]).
