In literature, “commencement” carries a range of nuanced meanings that often signal a beginning or critical turning point. It can denote the literal start of an event or scene, as when a character revisits early emotions at the very beginning of an episode [1] or anticipates the onset of a campaign that alters a character’s fate [2]. At times, the word marks the inception of broader historical or cyclical changes, such as the dawn of an era or the initiation of governmental policies [3, 4]. In other cases, it highlights ceremonial or formal transitions, seen in the context of academic convocation [5, 6]. Thus, its usage enriches narrative layers by linking new beginnings—both dramatic and transformative—with the unfolding of complex ideas and events [7, 8].
