The term "curable" has been employed in literature not only in its literal sense but also as a metaphor that invites deeper reflection on the nature of change and redemption. For Chekhov, a seemingly simple question—“Is it curable?”—elicits an ambiguous inquiry into whether a situation or condition might be remedied, hinting at the uncertainty that pervades human circumstance [1]. In contrast, Plato’s Gorgias uses "curable" to establish a moral and psychological dichotomy: individuals are divided into those who can be reformed, and those whose very condition renders them incapable of real improvement, sometimes serving as warnings to others [2][3]. This dual usage enriches the narrative, prompting readers to reconsider the bounds of recovery and the consequences of moral judgment within society.
