The word “temperature” in literature is remarkably versatile, serving both literal and metaphorical functions. In scientific and technical descriptions, authors often use it to detail precise climatic or physical measurements, as seen in works by Jules Verne where temperature gauges the conditions within the earth or the varying degrees of underwater environments ([1], [2], [3]). At the same time, temperature is employed to evoke mood or symbolize human emotions. For instance, a character’s feverish distress may be described with a “high temperature” ([4]), while the changing warmth in relationships vividly illustrates emotional shifts ([5], [6]). Additionally, factual texts utilize the term to provide clear, quantitative accounts of weather or even to define operational parameters in devices like thermostats ([7], [8]). Thus, whether articulating the natural world’s rigor through specific measurements or capturing the subtleties of human experience, “temperature” enriches literary expression by bridging the gap between the tangible physical world and the intangible realm of emotion.
