The word fear is employed in literature as a multifaceted device that both shapes character behavior and enhances thematic depth. In certain texts, it is portrayed as an internal force that contrasts with faith and moral certainty, as when a steadfast individual overcomes it through belief [1] or when it becomes a reflection of internal conflict [2]. Meanwhile, narratives often use fear to drive suspense or moral caution, with some authors depicting physical manifestations of dread—characters trembling in the face of danger [3]—and others invoking divine warnings to instill reverence and humility [4], [5]. At the same time, psychoanalytical interpretations of fear reveal its roots in the human condition, exploring its origins and effects on behavior [6], while heroic tales frequently contrast it with courage, suggesting that fear is both a challenge to be overcome and a natural accompaniment to life’s trials [7], [8].
