In literature, the word decry is employed as a forceful denunciation that carries both moral weight and a public dimension. Writers use it to express strong disapproval of various subjects—from social and political policies, as when a nation’s practices are condemned [1], [2], to cultural and aesthetic values, such as questioning the merits of art or classical education [3], [4]. The term can indicate a measured yet pointed criticism aimed at exposing flaws or injustices, as in the reflective lament over disorder in one’s own mind or society [5], [6]. Its versatility is also evident when it is used to challenge the dominant narrative or perceived hypocrisy, thereby inviting the reader to reconsider established norms [7], [8].
