In literary works, "else" functions as a versatile adverb that highlights alternatives, exceptions, and contrasts. Authors use it to indicate actions or options beyond what has already been mentioned, as seen in phrases like "anything else" ([1]) and "something else" ([2], [3]), which broaden the scope of what is considered or desired. At times it introduces a conditional nuance, creating tension or emphasizing a choice, for example when a character warns, "or else better not live at all" ([4]) or "or else you are a dead man" ([5]). "Else" also underscores the uniqueness or exclusion of a subject, as in "no one else" ([6], [7]), and contributes to rhetorical or philosophical arguments by setting apart one idea from all others ([8], [9]). Through such varied uses, "else" enriches the texture of narrative and dialogue, offering authors a subtle way to suggest alternatives and highlight contrast within their texts.
