The term "childlike" in literature is employed to evoke qualities of innocence, sincerity, and an uncomplicated, almost naïve perspective that contrasts sharply with the complexities of adult life. Authors use it to highlight both a fresh, unspoiled approach to the world and, at times, a melancholic reminder of lost purity. For instance, its use in a philosophical meditation on human nature underscores both admiration and reproach for a state that is as endearing as it is limiting [1, 2]. In character portrayals, a childlike expression can denote genuine delight, vulnerability, or even a kind of divine receptivity, as when a character’s gaze exudes simple, unfiltered wonder [3, 4, 5]. Moreover, the adjective often serves to criticize or satirize the rigidity of conventional wisdom by contrasting it with the spontaneous, open-hearted quality of youth, thereby spanning a spectrum from profound innocence to a subtle call for rediscovery of simplicity in thought and emotion [6, 7, 8].
