Writers have long employed the word "drudgery" to capture the tedium and laborious aspects of life, though its usage ranges from describing mundane routines to emphasizing the soul‐crushing monotony of certain tasks. In works like Dewey’s, drudgery is defined as labor that loses its value when the process supplants any genuine interest in the outcome [1, 2], while Alcott’s narrative elevates the struggle against drudgery by linking it to personal sacrifice and the temptation to surrender one's unique talents [3]. Historical accounts, such as those of Apicius and Lewis and Clark, use the term to chronicle the relentless everyday grind—from the preparation of sweets to the burdens of domestic chores [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. At times, authors like Dickens and Carlyle depict drudgery in hyperbolic terms as something almost unbearable [9, 10, 11], whereas Emerson and Thoreau suggest that even in the face of repetitive labor, there can be transformative lessons or unexpected value [12, 13, 14]. Thus, "drudgery" in literature encapsulates a multifaceted reflection on work, from its oppressive dullness to its potential to provoke deeper insights about human existence.
