Literary notes about Realization (AI summary)
The word “realization” in literature is employed to capture a spectrum of meanings, often bridging the inner world of thoughts, instincts, or spiritual awakenings with concrete, observable events. In some contexts, it signifies a process by which intangible impulses or ideals, such as psychic drives or the quest for self-improvement, find tangible expression in behavior or societal form [1, 2, 3]. At other times, it points to a moment of sudden insight or epiphany where characters become cognizant of internal truths or shifting circumstances [4, 5, 6]. Additionally, “realization” is used to denote the fulfillment of aspirations—whether the attainment of a personal dream or the manifestation of political and social ideals [7, 8, 9]—thereby enriching narratives with layered interpretations that invite readers to consider both the emotional and philosophical dimensions of becoming.
