In literature, "demanding" often conveys an urgent insistence that blends both literal and metaphorical authority. It can characterize a role requiring specific traits—as when a composer assigns parts needing diverse qualities [1]—or evoke the fervor of a character’s plea or expectation, as seen in appeals for justice or personal recompense [2, 3]. The term spans contexts from calls for artistic subtlety, where performance need not be overly taxing [4], to declarations of political and social rights that press for accountability and recognition [5, 6]. Whether in dialogue or narrative description, "demanding" consistently serves to heighten the intensity of a situation, emphasizing a forceful call to action or a necessary response [7, 8, 9].
