Ostracize is often employed in literature to underscore themes of exclusion and social punishment. In ancient narratives, for example, the term vividly recalls Athenian practices where citizens could be banished by popular vote, as illustrated by references to the use of oyster shells for ballots ([1], [2]). In more contemporary works, it conveys the deep emotional impact of being shunned or marginalized within a group, whether due to personal shortcomings or political dissent ([3], [4], [5]). The word also emerges in political discourses, where ostracizing someone symbolizes a broader societal or institutional effort to isolate opponents or traitors ([6], [7]). Overall, its varied usage across contexts adds a rich dimension to character and societal conflict in literature.
