The word "allowed" in literature is a remarkably versatile term that authors employ to denote permission, restriction, or even the allocation of resources and opportunities. In many texts, "allowed" underscores a formal boundary or regulation, as seen when Twain establishes a physical limitation where no one may approach within five paces [1] or when Boswell notes an allocation of funds for clothing [2]. At the same time, it conveys personal or interpersonal permissions, as in Hugo’s description of a delicate, almost affectionate allowance in a moment of intimacy [3] or in Dickens’s introspective moments of self-permission [4]. The term also plays a crucial role in formal and legal contexts, defining rights and prohibitions in various societal frameworks, such as in Milton’s strategic retreats during war [5] or debates surrounding fairness and opportunity in political and economic treatises [6, 7]. Through these varied applications—from setting strict boundaries to admitting subtle, personal allowances—"allowed" enriches literary language by capturing both the rigidity and flexibility of human rules and interactions.
