The term “glutton” has been employed in literature with varied yet consistently charged nuances, often serving as a metaphor for excess and moral decay. In some texts, it straightforwardly alludes to physical overindulgence, as in the vivid declarations of insatiable appetite and destructive behavior found in fables and epic narratives ([1], [2], [3]). In medieval literature, such as in Malory’s retellings of Arthurian legend, “glutton” becomes a scornful epithet directed at characters whose voracity symbolizes a deeper moral corruption, as well as precipitating their downfall ([4], [5], [6]). Other authors have used the term more playfully or ironically, as exemplified by the banter in Jules Verne’s works and the satirical insults in Bernard Shaw’s drama ([7], [8], [9], [10]). Even in historical or culinary texts—ranging from Apicius to Thoreau—the word is laden with critical commentary, contrasting the refined savoring of food with the crude indulgence of a “glutton” ([11], [12]). Across these diverse literary strands, “glutton” consistently serves not merely to denote a man who eats too much, but as a broader symbol of selfish excess and the perils of unfettered desire.
