The term "autopsy" in literature has been employed both in its literal sense—as an examination or inventory of a body’s internal parts—and as a rich symbol for uncovering hidden truths and transformations. In works such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula [1] and Burgess and Park’s sociological treatise [2], autopsy is invoked to denote a precise, scientific dissection of physical reality, while in crime and mystery contexts, as seen in Agatha Christie’s narrative [3] and Hans Gross’s writings [4], it becomes a metaphorical tool for unraveling the enigmatic aspects of human existence. Meanwhile, in the Freemasonic tradition and other mystical writings, the term is imbued with symbolic significance, representing not only the revelation of the inner self but also a process of regeneration and enlightenment—a theme expounded in multiple passages by Albert Gallatin Mackey [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] and echoed in Galen’s classical definition [11]. This dual usage underscores the term’s versatility in literature, bridging the gap between empirical dissection and the spiritual or allegorical examination of life.
