The word “bluff” serves as a versatile tool in literature, employed both to depict rugged landscapes and to characterize individuals or actions. In several works, it denotes a high, steep promontory or a designative geographical feature—conjuring images of imposing cliffs and elevated riverbanks that lend a dramatic backdrop to the narrative [1][2][3]. In other instances it captures demeanor or appearance, describing figures with a rough, candid, or hearty exterior, as when an old man or a stout character is portrayed with a “bluff” countenance [4][5][6]. Additionally, “bluff” reflects a mode of conduct involving confident posturing or feigned assurance, a tactic used to overcome fear or influence others in critical situations [7][8][9]. This multiplicity of meanings enriches literary expression by bridging tangible landscapes with nuanced character portraits.
