In literature, "condescend" is often employed to denote a reluctant lowering of oneself, highlighting a character’s pride or patronizing superiority. It appears when someone deliberately refrains from engaging—even in trivial matters—as when a young lady chooses not to reply or speak ([1], [2]), or when even a mosquito is too disdainful to buzz in a stifling atmosphere ([3]). The word also marks moments where superiority is assumed, whether in social deference or in a mock display of benevolence, as seen when a noble character deems it beneath them to perform certain actions ([4], [5], [6]). Thus, through its varied applications, the term enriches character dialogue and social commentary by underscoring both hierarchy and the complex interplay between humility and haughtiness ([7]).
