The term "consumptive" in literature often functions as a descriptor that conveys physical debilitation and a melancholic, sometimes even haunting, beauty. Authors like Fyodor Dostoyevsky and James Joyce use it to evoke the frail, wan appearance of characters—consider the self-deprecating remark in The Idiot ([1]) or the depiction of the "tall consumptive" student in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man ([2], [3]). Meanwhile, writers such as H. G. Wells and Thackeray imbue the term with a slightly paradoxical charm, linking it to both the physical signs of illness and a kind of aesthetic allure ([4], [5]). Chekhov extends the imagery beyond people by likening withered, sparse trees to something "consumptive" ([6], [7]), thereby reinforcing the metaphorical use of the word to suggest decay and the inevitable decline inherent in nature and human life. Across these examples, "consumptive" emerges as a multifaceted signifier, encapsulating themes of fragility, decay, and tragic beauty ([8], [9], [10]).
