The term “foreman” in literature frequently encapsulates the ideas of authority, management, and the everyday realities of working life, while simultaneously serving as a vehicle for character nuance and humor. In many works—such as those by Mark Twain ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) and George Eliot ([6], [7], [8])—the foreman is portrayed as the individual who not only supervises labor but also symbolizes the broader themes of social hierarchy and duty. In other examples, like those found in Chekhov ([9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]) and in slave narratives by Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs ([17], [18], [19], [20]), the role reflects both the practical aspects of industrial or agricultural work and the implicit power dynamics between laborers and management. Additionally, the usage of “foreman” in texts such as Ulysses ([21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28]) showcases its versatility, often operating as a subtle marker of character identity and mood. Together, these diverse citations reveal that “foreman” is not merely a job title but a multifaceted literary device enriching narratives with layers of social, economic, and personal meaning.
