The term "hypnotize" in literature has been employed with a range of connotations that span from metaphorical bewitchment to technical discussion in psychoanalysis. In Benito Pérez Galdós’ work [1], the term appears almost as a figurative tool—akin to casting an evil eye—suggesting a sense of irresistible fascination or manipulation. This imagery is contrasted by Paramahansa Yogananda’s use [2], where the word hints at a more tangible, perhaps even mystical, influence over a being. Sigmund Freud further grounds the term in clinical inquiry, using it both to propose an initiating action in therapy [3] and to question its fundamental necessity in treatment [4]. Together, these examples illustrate how "hypnotize" serves as a versatile device in literature, adapting its meaning to fit both poetic allure and the scientific discourse of the mind.
