The word “constrain” is employed in literature in a variety of ways to depict the imposition of limits—whether physical, emotional, or ideological. It can suggest the external forces that regulate our actions or the internal necessities that drive us, as seen when human necessities are described as compelling us to move forward despite a lack of external limitation ([1]). In classical epics, such as Homer’s and Virgil’s works, the term vividly conveys how fate or the physical world can bind characters to certain courses of action, as when a sneeze or a shifting helm becomes a metaphor for an irresistible pull ([2], [3]). Philosophical and political discourses utilize “constrain” to illustrate how structures like governmental systems may limit individual freedom or compel behaviors for the greater good ([4], [5], [6]). In more intimate or moral contexts, it underscores the struggle between our desires and our ability to self-regulate—whether urging restraint to avoid wrongdoing or emphasizing the challenge of overcoming personal impulses ([7], [8]). Overall, the word enriches literary language by offering a flexible means to explore the dynamics of freedom, duty, and the forces that shape human behavior ([9], [10], [11]).
