"Pulchritudinous" is deployed in literature in multifaceted and often playful ways to underscore beauty or effect, sometimes in an ironic or exaggerated fashion. In one instance, the term highlights the necessity of beauty in a competitive environment [1], while in another it is used to denote an individual's responsibility to uphold aesthetic standards [2]. At times, the adjective serves to magnify and illuminate the extraordinary charm of an object or creation, inviting awe and admiration [3]. It even finds its way into character sketches, where it adds an offbeat quality to a peculiar figure [4] or appears as part of a humorous litany meant to draw attention to beauty's paradoxes [5][6].
