In literature, the word “character” functions on multiple levels. It can describe the shifting nature or atmosphere of a place, as when Verne notes a change in the "character" of the country [1]. Equally, it serves as a measure of moral or personal integrity, illustrated by discussions of virtue or vice in works by Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and Rousseau [2, 3, 4]. Beyond individuals, the term is employed in broader contexts to capture the inherent qualities of societies, deities, or even abstract ideas—suggesting, for instance, that a person's or a state's nature is defined by an enduring set of traits [5, 6, 7]. Thus, across a wide spectrum of literary genres, “character” emerges as a versatile concept that shapes our understanding of people, places, and ideas.
