The adjective “steadfast” appears in literature as a powerful descriptor of unwavering loyalty, persistent purpose, and resolute character. In ancient epics and religious texts, it designates something that is unswerving in both duty and faith, such as the constant allegiance of revered figures [1, 2, 3]. In narratives of personal resolve or martyrdom, authors use the word to evoke the image of a person whose inner strength remains fixed despite external trials [4, 5, 6, 7]. Meanwhile, in philosophical and reflective works the term underscores a commitment to truth or ideals, forming the backbone of moral and intellectual persistence [8, 9, 10]. Whether capturing the steadfast gaze of a character or a core quality of enduring values, the word enriches literary expression—imbuing characters and concepts with a timeless quality that has appealed to writers across eras [11, 12, 13].
