In literature the term “ascendancy” is often employed to capture the notion of an emerging or established dominance—whether in intimate relationships, political arenas, or even abstract realms of influence. It is used to depict scenarios where one character or idea gradually or forcefully gains control over another, as when an individual exerts an almost irresistible power over a family member or lover [1, 2, 3]. At other times, writers extend its meaning to broader social or political contexts, illustrating the rise and eventual supremacy of a faction, ideology, or nation [4, 5, 6]. This versatile term enriches narratives by reflecting the complex, often evolving interplay of power, be it in personal bonds or the larger schemes of history and society [7, 8].
