Literary notes about Pages (AI summary)
The term "pages" in literature functions both as a literal marker of a text's physical structure and as a potent metaphorical device. In many works, pages denote specific segments of a printed work, guiding the reader to particular content or arguments ([1], [2], [3], [4]). At the same time, authors often invoke "pages" to represent the unfolding narrative of life or memory—for instance, referring to the "secret pages" of a heart or using them to imply the weight and significance of one's past ([5], [6]). Additionally, the word appears in more unexpected roles, such as describing young attendants in historical or fictional settings ([7], [8]), emphasizing both its concrete and symbolic versatility in literature.
