The term "resign" weaves through literature as a multifaceted device, used both to denote the formal act of relinquishing power and to illustrate a character's inward submission to fate. In epic narratives, such as those by Homer ([1], [2], [3]) and Virgil ([4], [5]), it evokes the weight of destiny and the solemn relinquishment of crowns and empires. Meanwhile, in dramas and reflective prose—from Shakespeare’s discourses on authority and personal honor ([6], [7], [8], [9]) to the contemplative musings found in Thoreau’s and other modern works ([10], [11], [12])—the word embodies both a tangible abdication of role and an acceptance of inevitable circumstance. This dual usage enriches character development and deepens thematic expression, illustrating the tension between control and the surrender to forces beyond one’s power, whether in the political arena or the intimate realm of personal experience ([13], [14], [15]).
