The term “supplicant” in literature has been used to evoke deep vulnerability and a plea for mercy or intervention from higher powers or authorities. In ancient historical narratives like that of Flavius Josephus, for example, Adonijah becomes a supplicant to God in a moment of trepidation, reaching out symbolically to the divine [1]. The word also carries personal and intimate dimensions, as seen when Harriet Jacobs describes setting aside personal pride to petition on behalf of her children [2]. It can imply a sense of being neglected or scorned, illustrated by a soothsayer’s reproachful address to a forsaken supplicant [3], yet it is equally employed in dramatic settings; Dickens portrays a guardian callously discarding a supplicant, while Apicius frames pleas for mercy in a formal, almost ceremonial tone [4][5]. Even in Alexandre Dumas’s narrative, the image of a weeping, beautiful supplicant amplifies the emotional intensity of the moment [6]. Through these examples, “supplicant” is rendered as a multifaceted term that bridges historical, personal, and dramatic contexts, consistently underscoring themes of humility, desperation, and the search for redemption.
