The word "pointed" functions in literature both as a descriptor of physical sharpness and as a vehicle for emphasis or direction. It frequently appears to characterize tangible objects—such as the jagged tip of a javelin in ancient epics [1] or the sharply defined architectural features in Gothic settings [2]—while also conveying the act of drawing attention or indicating significance, as when a character directs someone’s gaze or underscores an observation [3], [4], [5]. Authors even extend its use metaphorically to denote incisiveness in critique or speech [6], revealing a layered versatility that enhances both the imagery and the narrative flow.
