The term "stride" in literature serves both as a literal description of movement and as a metaphor for progress, disposition, or even character. It often evokes images of confident, purposeful action, as seen when a character crosses a room decisively with "a firm stride" ([1]) or marches "with the stride of a hunter" on a determined journey ([2]). At times, the word is used for physical measures—such as linking a man's height to "the length of his stride" ([3])—while in other instances it carries an idiomatic meaning, suggesting the ease or audacity with which one confronts life’s challenges, as when someone "takes it all in his stride" ([4]). Moreover, literary passages sometimes weave the concept of stride into grander themes like progress or heroism, where it becomes emblematic of forward momentum and bold resolve ([5], [6]).
