The term refinement in literature is employed with a rich diversity of meanings. It can denote cultivated social manners and intellectual grace, as when characters are described as possessing an innate elegance or a cultured upbringing ([1], [2], [3]). At the same time, refinement is often used as a comparative marker, emphasizing a disparity between the polished and the crude—from the unrefined brutality of a character to the delicate, artful touch in creative work ([4], [5], [6]). In some contexts, it even extends to technical or methodological processes, suggesting the removal of impurities or the attainment of a perfected form ([7]). Thus, whether highlighting subtle social distinctions or the quality of art and technique, refinement remains a multifaceted concept in literary discourse ([8], [9]).
