The term “competition” in literature spans a wide array of contexts and disciplines, from the rigorous analysis of social stratification and economic theory to vivid narrative depictions of personal rivalry and human behavior. In sociological and economic texts, scholars like Burgess and Park use the term to explain processes of personal competition for status and market dynamics, exploring its role in social segregation and even the very structure of economic organization ([1], [2], [3]). Meanwhile, literary works employ the term more fluidly: it appears in humorous or pointed observations in fiction—such as a playful remark in Arthur Conan Doyle’s narrative ([4])—or as a metaphor for shifting power and conflict, as seen in the reflections of Jane Austen and Ralph Waldo Emerson on the contests that define personal and political arenas ([5], [6]). Even in discussions of natural phenomena, as in Darwin’s usage addressing survival of the fittest ([7]), competition is portrayed as a fundamental and multifaceted force shaping behavior, both at the level of individual lives and entire societies.
