Literary notes about Consignor (AI summary)
In literature, the term "consignor" is often employed to underscore a character’s role in commercial transactions or negotiations. For example, in James Joyce's Dubliners, the consignor is portrayed as a determined figure who insists on receiving a specific sum for his goods—six shillings—which is eventually recognized and granted to him literally [1]. This usage not only situates the character within a particular economic context but also subtly reflects the broader themes of negotiation and value in the narrative.
