Literary notes about administrator (AI summary)
Literary authors employ the term "administrator" to highlight figures who manage, govern, and bring order to various realms—whether in the context of society, government, or even technology. In some narratives, the administrator embodies calm authority and reassurance [1], while in others he or she is responsible for overseeing property, justice, fiscal matters, or even entire institutions [2, 3, 4]. Often, this character is portrayed with a blend of competence and human frailty, as seen when leadership is both admired for its effectiveness yet critiqued for its rigidity or moral ambiguity [5, 6, 7]. In modern works, the term adapts to technological settings as well, designating those who manage digital systems [8, 9]. Overall, the word "administrator" in literature serves as a versatile symbol of power, responsibility, and the complex ethics of control.
