In literature, the word “judge” is a remarkably versatile term that functions on both literal and metaphorical levels. In many works, it designates an official role involved in legal proceedings and societal order—as seen when characters are charged with administering justice or holding authority in courtrooms ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). At the same time, “judge” frequently carries a moral or divine connotation, inviting readers to contemplate questions of worth, accountability, and personal culpability; biblical passages, for instance, portray it as the ultimate arbiter of righteousness ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). Authors also employ the term in a more introspective or evaluative sense, where individuals assess themselves or others, blending legal, ethical, and personal dimensions of judgment ([11], [12], [13], [14]). Overall, whether as an emblem of institutional power, a metaphor for inner evaluation, or a philosophical tool to explore justice and morality, “judge” enriches narrative complexity across literary genres ([15], [16], [17]).
