The word fiend is used in literature as both a literal and metaphorical agent of malevolence, embodying demonic beings and the darker facets of human nature. In epic narratives, it often refers to monstrous adversaries whose appearance and actions herald chaos and calamity, as seen in the heroic struggles of the ancient epics ([1], [2], [3]). At times the term also conveys a more figurative sense of inner corruption or unfettered passion, blurring the line between man and monster ([4], [5]). Moreover, in works of drama and horror, authors invoke the fiend to heighten the atmosphere of terror and moral decay, whether as a supernatural tempter or a personification of an antagonist’s cruelty ([6], [7], [8]). This layered use of the term allows it to function as a powerful symbol that enriches the narrative by connecting physical monstrosity with spiritual or emotional depravity.
