The word "nausea" has been employed in literature not only to depict physical sickness but also to evoke deeper emotional and psychological states. In adventure and exploration narratives, for example, it is vividly used to capture the disorienting effects of motion or overwhelming environments, as seen in Jules Verne’s depiction of the physical aftermath of spinning motions ([1]) and H. G. Wells’ description of a “deadly nausea” during intense moments ([2], [3]). At times it underscores personal turmoil or existential despair, such as when the mere thought of disturbing images incites a “horrid nausea” ([4]) or when it is reduced to a solitary, almost abstract word in James Joyce’s Ulysses ([5]). Additionally, in more clinical or medicinal texts, nausea is referenced as a quantifiable response—a side effect to a remedy or dose ([6], [7], [8]). Whether illustrating the visceral reaction to sickness, the symbolic ascension through spiritual struggle ([9], [10]), or the complex interplay between mind and body, the varied uses of "nausea" across these works highlight its capacity to invoke both physical discomfort and profound internal conflict.
