The word “situation” serves as a remarkably versatile tool in literature, functioning at multiple levels from the concrete to the abstract. Authors use it to set the physical scene—as when a garden’s precarious placement informs its vulnerability ([1]) or when a room defines intimacy ([2])—while it also encapsulates a character’s internal or social predicaments, as seen in personal reflections of misguided actions or internal conflicts ([3], [4]). In some works, “situation” extends to denote broader geopolitical or military circumstances, shaping contexts of power and strategy ([5], [6], [7], [8]). At times, it even becomes an analytical or philosophical construct that challenges the reader to consider how environment and circumstance interact with human perception and agency ([9], [10]). This multifaceted usage shows that the term can anchor narrative settings, reveal character dynamics, and invite deep reflection on the interplay between individuals and their world ([11], [12], [13]).
