Literary works frequently employ the term “repulsive” to convey an intense visceral reaction as well as a more reflective moral or aesthetic judgment. Nietzsche, for instance, uses it to signify an active confrontation with the darker, often terrifying aspects of existence ([1]), while Dickens captures the shock of an abhorrent visual impression in a single glance ([2]). Authors such as Twain and Dostoyevsky extend its application further: Twain contrasts appealing natural landscapes with those rendered grim and uninviting ([3], [4]), and Dostoyevsky uses the term to hint at subtle inner corruption or to describe characters whose outward appearance belies inner turmoil ([5], [6], [7]). In this way, “repulsive” dynamically bridges the gap between physical disgust and the more nuanced commentary on character and circumstance.
