The term "inspector" in literature has been used to encompass a broad range of roles, from the stern enforcer of law and order to a figure involved in bureaucratic and even humorous or ironic circumstances. In many works, inspectors are depicted as authoritative figures whose careful scrutiny and moral strictness drive the plot forward. For instance, in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, Chief Inspector Heat embodies both a relentless moral and investigative presence ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]), while in Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend characters designated as “Mr Inspector” often engage in witty repartee and domestic affairs ([8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]). In Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo, the inspector assumes a role that is both judicial and fateful, reinforcing themes of destiny and retribution ([22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]). Beyond these dramatic portrayals, the designation also surfaces in more unconventional contexts, such as a log inspector in discussions of women’s suffrage ([32]) or even an inspector in educational settings ([33], [34]), highlighting the term’s flexibility. Overall, these examples demonstrate that “inspector” is not a fixed archetype but rather a multifaceted literary tool, adaptable to various narrative needs—from the embodiment of societal order to a comic or ironic figure illuminating the quirks of institutional life.
