In literature, the term "servility" is used to evoke a wide range of connotations—from a passive, abject submission to authority or circumstance to a calculated, hypocritical display of deference. Authors contrast it with ideals of independence and pride, as when servility is shown to be an undesirable form of submission to power [1] or an act that diminishes one's dignity in both public and personal realms [2]. At times, it is depicted in contexts of social and economic oppression, where the poor or disenfranchised are reduced to a state of degraded humility [3, 4]. Conversely, certain narratives highlight the subtle interplay of servility with self-importance and ambition, suggesting that even refined manners may mask an underlying subservience [5, 6]. This rich spectrum of uses allows writers to critique societal hierarchies and individual behavior, underscoring the term’s enduring complexity in literary discourse [7, 8].
