The term "pact" in literature has been employed to signify a binding agreement that can be both literal and metaphorical, with its usage varying widely from legal and social contracts to supernatural bargains. In Hobbes’s work, for example, a pact is depicted as a formal commitment underpinning both natural and civil laws, where individuals consciously submit themselves to these governing principles [1][2]. In contrast, Goethe’s Faust presents the pact as a dark, blood-bound covenant with the Devil, emphasizing its mystical and ritualistic overtones [3][4]. Similarly, folklore, as seen in Filipino tales, employs the pact as a secretive agreement—whether to unlock family secrets or as a metaphor for moral dilemmas [5][6][7]. The term also finds a place in political and diplomatic discourses, such as in the accounts of early American explorations where pacts were linked to alliances among nations [8], and even in literary descriptions that suggest an almost ironic or incidental bond, as observed by Victor Hugo [9]. Moreover, authors like Guy de Maupassant and L. M. Montgomery use the idea of a pact to underscore personal commitments and deep connections, be they with the earth or one’s responsibilities [10][11].
