The term "disfavor" in literature has been employed with a wide range of nuances, often reflecting disapproval or negative sentiment in various contexts. In some works, such as Dewey’s discussion of social correction, it is mentioned alongside shaming and punishment to illustrate a multifaceted approach to moral and educational judgment [1]. In political debate, as seen in Burke’s text, the word serves to critique ideas by marking an argument as unpopular or flawed [2]. It also appears in social commentary, such as the observation of public opinion in France versus the United States in Ukers’ work [3] and in the everyday interpersonal dynamics portrayed in Bret Harte’s narrative, where a character’s appearance incurs immediate disfavor [4]. The theme is further extended to describe official or institutional rejection, whether by authorities, as in Long’s text [5], or through the lens of societal expectations and class distinctions highlighted in Emily Post’s etiquette guide [6]. Anderson and Fitzgerald use the term to underscore personal and academic consequences, adding layers of social struggle and emotional complexity [7, 8]. Finally, Strunk demonstrates that even stylistic choices in language can meet with reader disfavor when they diverge from accepted norms [9].
