The term "embarrass" has been flexibly deployed across literature to capture nuances of personal discomfort, social faux pas, and ironic predicaments. In some works, it directly reflects the personal unease or loss of dignity of characters—for example, when a character’s actions cause others to feel exposed or insulted [1, 2, 3]. In other contexts, authors use it to comment on broader social interactions and the pitfalls of human endeavor, such as exposing a flaw in a grand project or even in the clash of ideas and ideals [4, 5, 6]. Moreover, its recurring use in both literal and metaphorical senses—from reflecting internal reflections [7, 8] to critiquing societal norms [9, 10]—highlights how this single word can encapsulate a complex range of emotional and situational discomfort, making it a versatile tool in the literary arsenal.
