The term “hesitancy” in literature has been used to evoke a complex interplay of inner reservation and reflective pause. In Freud’s work ([1] and [2]), it hints at a hidden, almost preserved inner state where unexpressed content is gradually unveiled, suggesting that even silence has an underlying depth. In contrast, authors like Mark Twain ([3]) and Bram Stoker ([4]) employ the term to capture fleeting moments of self-doubt or uncertainty in dialogue and thought, depicting characters caught between speaking and remaining silent. Moreover, in texts such as Jomini’s ([5]) and Maupassant’s ([6]), hesitancy is presented as a potential flaw—an indicator of delay that might lead to adverse consequences—while Bret Harte ([7]) and Helen Keller ([8]) use it to contrast the unburdened clarity of youth or assertive decision-making with a more cautious, measured approach. Collectively, these examples reveal how “hesitancy” functions as a versatile literary tool, articulating the nuanced tensions between impulsive action and thoughtful inaction.
