The word “teaching” is employed in literature with a range of nuanced meanings that extend beyond mere classroom instruction. In some works, it denotes the act of imparting practical skills or knowledge—as seen in depictions of formal education or tutoring ([1], [2], [3], [4])—while in others it represents a broader concept of moral, religious, or philosophical guidance ([5], [6], [7], [8]). Authors sometimes critique or celebrate the efficacy and impact of teaching, whether it is faulty instruction that can be as harmful as its absence ([9]) or a powerful tool for personal transformation and social change ([10], [11]). In this way, “teaching” serves as both a literal act of educating and a metaphorical vehicle for disseminating values, ideologies, and life lessons throughout literary works ([12], [13], [14]).
