In literature, “excess” is a versatile term that often connotes a departure from the ideal balance—a state where abundance, whether of wealth, emotion, or passion, leads to deterioration or unintended consequences. Philosophical works cast excess as the source of moral decay and disorder, as when an overabundance of liberty or material wealth undermines societal order ([1], [2], [3]). In dramatic narratives, too much emotion—be it grief, joy, or spite—can transform virtue into vice or spur dramatic shifts in human behavior ([4], [5], [6]). Moreover, excess appears as both a caution and a catalyst in various texts, suggesting that while an overflow of feeling or principle might inspire creativity or fervor, it simultaneously risks collapsing into destructive imbalance ([7], [8], [9]). Ultimately, this recurring motif in literature prompts a reflection on the virtues of moderation and the perils inherent in surpassing it ([10], [11], [12]).
