Literary authors have employed the term “extortion” to capture a wide range of abuses of power and exploitation, both in literal and metaphorical senses. In works like Tagore’s, extortion appears as a component of tyrannical governance and injustice [1], while in political rhetoric, as seen in Dale Carnegie’s text, it is used to criticize legal looting—tariff extortion equated with robbery by law [2]. At times, authors extend the term beyond its strict economic meaning; for example, Chesterton playfully compares the “extortion of secrets” by nervous fatigue to that by bodily pain, revealing its metaphorical potential [3]. Historical narratives also portray extortion as a tangible abuse of authority, whether it be in the actions of corrupt officials [4] or through charges of fraud against respected tradesmen [5]. In these diverse contexts, extortion emerges as a multifaceted symbol for moral and legal wrongdoing throughout literary tradition.
