The term "predatory" is used widely in literature to capture an essence of raw, often animalistic aggression, whether referring to human behavior or to natural instincts. In some contexts, it conveys an unsettling, almost feral quality—as seen when a character is described as "frankly predatory" [1] or when a laugh is labeled "horrible and predatory" [2]. Authors like Nietzsche extend the descriptor to broader social and ethical realms, emphasizing violence and superiority in phrases like "predatory and violent" [3] and noting a kind of innate, combative nature in human traits [4]. Meanwhile, writers such as Bret Harte and Tagore weave the term into depictions of natural and cultural dynamics, comparing individuals or groups to animals with a "superior predatory capacity" [5] or to packs determined by instinct [6]. This versatile usage underscores a dual capacity in literature: to portray both the inherent brutality seen in nature and the darker, more calculated sides of human interaction.
