In literature, “miserly” is often employed to characterize characters whose extreme frugality borders on greed and stinginess. Authors invoke the term to invoke both moral judgment and comic relief—for instance, the depiction of a miserly old farmer [1] or an unyielding, covetous character whose hoarding of wealth overpowers any sense of generosity [2]. At times, this adjective underlines a broader social commentary, as when a miserly disposition not only renders a character unfeeling and hard but also serves as a critique of societal attitudes towards wealth and poverty [3] [4]. Whether illustrating the parsimony of a single individual or symbolizing a prevailing cultural mindset, “miserly” remains a vivid descriptor that enriches narrative conflict and character dynamics.
