The term “inalienable” has long served as a versatile literary device to evoke notions of intrinsic and unassailable rights or qualities. In political and social contexts—as seen in multiple excerpts from History of Woman Suffrage [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]—it emphasizes fundamental rights that belong naturally to human beings, underscoring a call for equality and justice. In literary and philosophical works, its use shifts slightly: in Ivanhoe [13] and The Scarlet Letter [14], for example, it describes inherent personal virtues and attributes, while Rousseau’s writings [15], [16], [17], [18] use it to articulate the absolute and indivisible nature of sovereign power. Moreover, Santayana’s reflections [19], [20], [21], [22] extend the idea to encompass timeless values in experience and aesthetics, and other texts [23], [24], [25], [26] illustrate its broader application to cultural heritage and individual agency. Overall, the consistent appeal of “inalienable” across these examples highlights its enduring power to assert qualities that are fundamentally embedded in human existence and society.
