The term "dispel" is used across literature to denote the act of driving away or alleviating something intangible—whether it be gloom, fear, sorrow, or even ignorance. In early novels, such as in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's work, the word connotes the softening of intense emotions or the lifting of a serious mood ([1], [2]), while in Gothic narratives it appears as a struggle to overcome terror or oppressive ideas ([3], [4], [5]). In more philosophical or reflective texts, "dispel" takes on the role of clearing away shadows of doubt or moral uncertainty, as seen when light—literal or metaphorical—banishes darkness and prejudice ([6], [7], [8]). Additionally, in works that blend the physical with the abstract, authors even equate the act of dispelling with altering perceptions, whether through the power of knowledge or through acts of reassurance ([9], [10]). Thus, across diverse genres, "dispel" functions as a literary device symbolizing the effort to overcome and transform negative states into clarity or relief.
