In literature, “churl” is employed as a multifaceted descriptor for characters who are often portrayed as uncultured, surly, or of low birth. It frequently functions as an insult, denoting someone lacking both refinement and honor—as when a character is admonished as unworthy or base in behavior [1, 2, 3]. At times, authors even let a character self-identify in a self-deprecating manner, suggesting an awareness of their own shortcomings [4]. In works that span from the medieval sagas [5, 6] to the dramas of Shakespeare [7, 8], the term underscores the social divisions between the nobility and the common folk, while also highlighting the enduring tension between raw, sometimes comical human nature and the dignified, heroic ideal.
