The term “burn” is utilized with remarkable versatility across literary works, often serving as both a literal and figurative device. It can depict physical combustion, whether emphasizing the practical use of fire—for instance, in fueling lamps or sacrifices ([1], [2], [3]) or symbolizing complete destruction ([4], [5], [6], [7])—and at the same time evoke metaphorical imagery, such as the intensity of passion and inner turmoil ([8], [9], [10], [11]). Additionally, references to burning often suggest transformation or purification, highlighting the process by which raw or destructive forces are refined into something new or serving a higher purpose ([12], [13], [14]). This duality of meaning enriches literary narratives by allowing a single word to encapsulate a spectrum of human experience—from the tangible heat of fire to the searing intensity of emotion.
