The term “complication” has been employed in literature to denote a variety of unforeseen or intricate difficulties, both concrete and abstract. In some works it marks an internal or emotional disturbance, as when George Eliot portrays a “complication of feeling” in Middlemarch ([1]) or when Katherine Mansfield dismisses “stupid emotional complication” ([2]). In other texts the word captures the emergence of unexpected obstacles in personal relations or narratives – for example, the additional twists in Selden’s actions in The House of Mirth ([3]) and the layered intricacies in Bernard Shaw’s dialogue ([4]). Authors also extend the term’s use to illustrate complex methodological or technical issues, whether in translation challenges of medieval texts ([5]), the mechanical intricacies in the language of science and philosophy ([6], [7]), or even in the realms of medicine and natural phenomena ([8], [9]). Thus, “complication” serves as a versatile descriptor, enriching narratives by highlighting the nuanced and often unpredictable interplay of elements in both human affairs and scholarly discourse.
