The term "mitigate" is often used in literature to express the act of lessening or softening something formidable—whether it be physical pain, emotional suffering, or even the severity of injustice. In historical narratives and poetry, authors invoke the word to describe efforts to temper the ferocity of passions or the rigors of divine judgment, as when religious or moral strictures fail to mitigate a character’s intensity ([1]; [2]). In works of science and natural philosophy, it similarly denotes the reducing effect of remedies or natural phenomena on physical afflictions, such as when herbal treatments are employed to mitigate pain ([3]; [4]). Moreover, the word finds nuanced use in political and social contexts, where attempts to mitigate grievances or harsh penalties are woven into the fabric of narrative, highlighting a quest to ease both tangible and intangible burdens ([5]; [6]).
