In literature, "valet" is used both as a straightforward reference to a personal attendant and as a device to explore the subtleties of social hierarchy and human interdependence. Authors often employ the term to emphasize the intermediary role the valet plays—bridging the intimate world of his master with the wider social sphere—while also hinting at underlying tensions of loyalty, ambition, and sometimes irreverence. For instance, in certain narratives the valet is depicted not merely as a servant but as an insightful observer who subtly influences the master’s fate or becomes emblematic of class contradictions [1] [2] [3], whereas in other works his role merges comic relief with poignant social commentary, highlighting the complex interplay between appearance and duty [4] [5] [6].
