The word “lecture” in literature is deployed in a variety of ways that reflect its multifaceted nature. At times it signifies a formal presentation or address—ranging from scientific and philosophical discourses ([1], [2], [3]) to the scheduled activities in lecture halls ([4], [5]). In other contexts it takes on a more intimate or even reproachful tone, serving as an admonishment or a familial scolding ([6], [7]), while at other moments it subtly signals the act of reading or engaging with text—as hinted at in works that play on its French meaning ([8], [9]). This diversity in usage underscores how "lecture" can simultaneously denote imparting knowledge, offering critique, and evoking the pleasure of reading or learning.
