The word "succeed" carries a remarkable duality in literature, often referring to both the achievement of an intended goal and the natural progression or substitution of one state for another. It is used to express the victory that comes after persistent effort, as when one is advised to "try, try again" ([1]) or when characters pursue success in spite of formidable obstacles ([2], [3]). At the same time, authors use it to denote succession in order or time—whether it be the passing of thoughts that "succeed mechanically" ([4]), the orderly transition from one era or leader to the next ([5], [6]), or even situations where one outcome follows another in a chain of events ([7]). This interplay of determination and sequence adds subtle layers of meaning, enriching narratives with both hope for personal triumph and reflections on the inevitability of change.
