In literature, "bizarre" is employed as a powerful descriptor to evoke a sense of the unconventional, the surreal, and the paradoxical. It is often used to characterize not only the odd or illogical aspects of nature and human behavior—as seen when Nietzsche hints at existence’s painful paradoxes [1] or when Wodehouse suggests a thought so striking it makes the brain reel [2]—but also to detail settings and characters that defy ordinary expectations. Authors extend its reach to the aesthetic, highlighting peculiar tastes in art and decor [3] and drawing attention to unusual modes of expression or events that unsettle the familiar [4, 5]. In this way, “bizarre” becomes a multifaceted term that enriches narrative tone by blurring the boundary between beauty and oddity [6, 7].
