Literary authors employ the word “vessel” in a rich variety of ways, using it both in its literal sense to denote ships and other containers and in more metaphorical, symbolic roles. In adventure and historical narratives, “vessel” frequently refers to a seafaring craft or a mode of transport, as seen when it carries characters through dangerous journeys or across vast oceans ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). At other times, it denotes a container—one that might hold liquids, seeds, or even remedies—thereby linking mundane, tangible objects with ideas of nourishment and transformation ([6], [7], [8], [9]). In yet another layer of meaning, authors employ “vessel” to symbolize the human body or soul, a container imbued with virtues, grace, or burdens, thus merging the concrete with the allegorical and imbuing the text with deeper emotional resonance ([10], [11], [12], [13]).
