The word “bar” serves as a multifaceted term in literature, conveying both physical and symbolic boundaries. In some narratives, it designates a social setting, a place where characters gather to share drinks and engage in conversation, thereby setting the stage for pivotal interactions ([1],[2],[3]). In other works, it functions as a literal obstruction or a metaphorical limit—a sand bar that restricts passage on waterways or a door bar that encloses secrets and private spaces ([4],[5],[6]). Additionally, “bar” is employed in legal and formal contexts, referring to the sphere of the law or the point at which one is “called to the bar,” thereby signifying professional attainment and the safeguarding of justice ([7],[8],[9]). This rich array of applications demonstrates the term’s capability to evoke diverse atmospheres and themes across texts.
