The term “presentiment” has been employed by many authors to evoke a subtle, often ominous foresight of events yet to unfold. In literature, it frequently acts as a harbinger of impending change or doom, as seen when characters warn of an inescapable fate or sense a lurking evil ([1], [2], [3]). Some writers imbue it with a personal, almost mystical quality—an innate, unspoken intuition that not only portends misfortune but also shapes a character’s actions, as illustrated in several passages by Dostoyevsky ([4], [5], [6]). Meanwhile, others use “presentiment” more broadly to suggest an enigmatic, universal awareness, linking human experience with the unpredictable nature of fate ([7], [8]). In all these cases, the word enriches the narrative by blending emotional insight with the suspense of the unknown.
