The term “sick” assumes manifold roles in literature, functioning both as a descriptor of physical ailment and a metaphor for moral or emotional malaise. In some texts, it straightforwardly denotes illness or infirmity, as when characters are described lying in beds or confined by their symptoms ([1], [2], [3]). In others, it conveys a deeper metaphorical decay or disgust—for instance, indicating a state of moral corruption or disillusionment ([4], [5], [6]). At times, the word extends even to describe an adverse state within society or nature, as seen in descriptions of a pessimistic world or a weary spirit ([7], [8], [9]). This versatility illustrates how the same word can evoke different layers of meaning depending on context and intent, enriching the literary tapestry with both literal and symbolic significance ([10], [11]).
