In literature, “relent” is frequently used to signify a yielding or softening of stance—whether from stubborn pride, harsh judgment, or an overwhelming appeal for mercy. Authors often invoke the term to emphasize the dramatic tension between resolute persistence and the eventual abandonment of severity, as seen when a master refuses to grant reprieve ([1]) or when heroic figures are implored to show mercy ([2]). The word also conveys the inexorable force of change, whether in the context of divine or natural processes, as illustrated in classical epics where even powerful deities or immutable forces may relent ([3], [4]). Equally, modern narratives employ “relent” to mark moments of reluctant concession or internal transformation, reflecting its enduring power in evoking both emotional and moral struggle ([5], [6]).
