Literary authors employ the word phenomenon in a multitude of ways, using it both to denote tangible events and to evoke more abstract, philosophical ideas. In some works, it stands for concrete natural or historical occurrences—as when state power is reduced to a mere phenomenon [1] or when an unexplained tempest challenges empirical knowledge [2]—while in others it encapsulates complex emotional landscapes, as in the portrayal of Dublin’s oppressive aura [3] or the transient character of public opinion [4]. Philosophers, too, deploy the term to bridge appearance and reality, capturing how the visible world reflects deeper structures of will and idea [5][6]. Even in more colloquial exchanges among characters, phenomenon becomes a flexible label for noteworthy or unusual events [7][8], demonstrating its broad literary appeal as a concept that can simultaneously describe the empirical and the ineffable.
