In literature, "overcome" is employed with remarkable versatility. It can denote a physical or emotional force that overwhelms a character, as when sleep, grief, or shyness takes over, leaving one momentarily powerless ([1], [2], [3]). At times, the term signals the heroic conquest of obstacles—whether these are personal shortcomings, external adversities, or even moral dilemmas—illustrating the struggle between human vulnerability and the desire for triumph ([4], [5], [6]). In other contexts, "overcome" describes a state of being so deeply affected—by wonder, terror, or delight—that one is rendered almost unconscious of one’s surroundings ([7], [8], [9]). Ultimately, the word weaves together themes of surrender and victory, enhancing narratives through its dual capacity to represent both subjugation and conquest ([10], [11], [12]).
