The word maverick in literature functions both as a distinctive personal moniker and as a broader symbol for nonconformity and rugged independence. In narrative contexts, characters bearing the name often embody a rebellious spirit—such as a man coolly discarding his cigar in a moment of emotional upheaval [1]—while the term also evokes the untamed essence of the American frontier, as seen in its classic use to describe unbranded cattle roaming free [2]. Beyond its emblematic association with individualism, maverick appears historically as a surname for figures who defied convention and forged their own paths [3],[4], a trait that continues to resonate in modern literary portrayals [5].
