In literature, "reproval" functions as a nuanced marker of disapproval, conveying anything from stern admonishment to playful chiding. Authors use it to signal a character’s verbal or even nonverbal judgment—often highlighted by a pointed tone, a shake of the head, or a lifted finger [1, 2, 3]—to underscore social or moral expectations. At times, reproval appears in a scornful or ironic light [4, 5, 6], while in other passages it embodies a more official or collective reprimand, as when institutional authorities or entire communities express their discontent [7, 8, 9]. This varied usage enriches character interactions and deepens the emotional texture of narratives by imbuing moments of correction with both subtlety and impact [10, 11].
