In literature, the term “skeptic” is employed as both a descriptor for characters who question established truths and as a symbolic representation of doubt itself. Writers use it to denote figures who either challenge orthodox beliefs—whether in matters of faith, as in those who smile at divine interference ([1]), or in the rigorous questioning of natural design ([2])—or to imbue a narrative with irony and introspection, seen when a character’s cynical observance turns mundane details into a source of subtle commentary ([3], [4]). Moreover, the label is sometimes extended to influential personalities, marking them as modern exemplars of critical thought ([5], [6]), while in other cases it serves as the defining trait of a persona that provocatively disrupts conventional discussion ([7], [8]).
