Literary notes about Submersion (AI summary)
In literature, “submersion” is often used as a metaphor for an overwhelming process of absorption or dissolution. For instance, F. Scott Fitzgerald employs the term to denote the complete integration of one man’s personality into another’s, suggesting an inevitable and transformative merging of identities [1]. Similarly, Thomas Carlyle uses it to describe the forceful inundation of political elements during turbulent times, hinting at a dynamic, almost destructive convergence [2]. In a more abstract and philosophical sense, Plato terms the collapse or overwhelming of rival powers as “submersion,” thus broadening the term’s scope to encompass not just individual transformation but also large-scale societal and political metamorphosis [3].
