The word "cave" in literature operates on multiple levels, functioning both as a tangible location and a potent symbol. It often denotes a shelter or refuge—a physical haven where characters withdraw from turmoil or confront hidden truths, as seen when it represents isolation or exile [1] and a retreat for introspection [2]. At other times, it transforms into a mysterious portal that bridges the earthly with the mythic, offering contrasts between light and shadow [3], [4] or serving as the stage for occult marvels and transformative journeys [5], [6]. In this way, the cave enriches narratives by evoking both the palpable reality of space and the metaphorical depths of the human condition [7], [8].
