The term “frivolity” has been employed across literature to evoke both criticism and charm, depending on context. In some works it underscores an existence devoid of serious purpose – as seen when a character laments a life “passed in frivolity” and wishes to forget it altogether [1] or is reproached for trivial pursuits in family disputes [2][3]. Conversely, the word is sometimes used to capture a light-hearted, even bewitching quality, as in the description of a step-daughter’s “childlike manner” that exudes innocent frivolity [4], or when it colors the very atmosphere of a scene, lending it a fleeting air of gaiety [5]. Authors such as Chekhov repeatedly contrast frivolity with grave matters, highlighting its dual role in literature: simultaneously a mark of carelessness and a subtle, ironic commentary on life’s impermanence [6][7][8].
