The word “account” is employed in literature with a remarkable range of meanings and functions. It can denote a detailed narrative or recollection of events, as seen in historical writings where authors relay events or observations—Tolstoy’s recounting of lost privileges ([1]) and Marco Polo’s descriptions of diverse cultures ([2], [3]). In other contexts, it serves as an explanation or justification for actions and circumstances, often introduced by “on account of,” such as Arrian’s reference to fatigue ([4]) or Dickens’ allusion to delicate matters ([5]). Authors have also used it to indicate the relative value or influence of a subject, diminishing or magnifying its importance—illustrated in texts where certain events are rendered as insignificant ([6]) or where bureaucratic and financial connotations emerge ([7], [8]). In this way, “account” functions both as a mode of storytelling and as a means of rationalizing and interpreting human behavior across a diverse range of literary genres.
