In literature, "disqualify" is employed to express the idea of rendering someone or something unfit or ineligible, though its nuances can vary by context. For example, in Conrad's work, the term suggests that certain imperfections do not necessarily undermine a person's worth or potential, as nothing could truly render her unacceptable [1]. On the other hand, Conan Doyle's use of the word reflects a more critical approach—identifying faults in candidates that directly exclude them from consideration [2]. This contrast underlines how authors can adapt the term to either defend or denounce suitability within various narrative contexts.
