In literature, "carnality" is used to denote the excesses of the flesh and the corrupting nature of unchecked human desire, often contrasted with the ideals of spiritual purity and moral discipline. Writers employ the term to criticize not only overt indulgence in physical appetites—as in references to unbridled sin and lust ([1], [2])—but also the broader decay of a society that prioritizes fleshly pleasures over spiritual values ([3], [4]). At times, it serves as a metaphor for the inherent corruptibility of human nature and the struggle to balance worldly impulses with higher aspirations ([5], [6]), while in other contexts it is linked to the downfall of personal and collective virtue ([7], [8]).
