The word "obituary" in literature often serves as a multifaceted device, oscillating between a literal record of death and a metaphor for fate and self-reflection. In some texts it is invoked with a wry humor and an ironic twist—as in Joyce’s Ulysses, where reading one's own obituary is playfully linked to longevity [1], or in Conrad’s narrative, where the prospect of an obituary notice hints at a life reviewed in retrospect [2]. Other works employ the term more literally, using it as a formal announcement of death found in newspapers or institutional records, as seen in the accounts from Marco Polo’s travels and various historical documents [3], [4], [5], [6]. Meanwhile, writers like L. M. Montgomery and Wells use the word thematically to underline the inevitable finality of life, blending the somber tone of loss with a broader commentary on societal and personal mortality [7], [8]. Thus, across genres and eras, "obituary" is maneuvered both as a playful literary motif and a stark reminder of life’s transience.
