Literary notes about Extrude (AI summary)

In literature, particularly in the works of Ben Jonson, the term "extrude" is employed to denote an act of forceful expulsion. In both "The Alchemist" and "Every Man in His Humor," Jonson uses "extrude" to vividly capture the idea of something being ejected or pushed out from within its source [1][2]. This choice of word not only emphasizes a physical or metaphorical outburst but also enriches the textual imagery, imprinting on the reader a sense of dynamic movement and transformation rooted in the language of expulsion.
  1. EXTRUDE, expel.
    — from The Alchemist by Ben Jonson
  2. EXTRUDE, expel.
    — from Every Man in His Humor by Ben Jonson
