"Thrifty" is portrayed in literature as a marker of both economic prudence and practical resourcefulness. Writers often use the term to describe characters who manage limited resources skillfully, as seen in the depiction of a industrious Swedish farm woman who "would manage well" [1] or in a character noted for his industrious nature and careful counsel [2]. In other contexts, the word takes on a cautionary tone; for instance, a character in a satirical narrative is criticized for being excessively thrifty, to the point of self-deprivation [3, 4]. Beyond character traits, "thrifty" also shapes the description of settings—urban landscapes and humble dwellings are rendered balanced and efficient, suggesting a broader cultural admiration for practical frugality [5, 6, 7]. This multifaceted usage highlights how thriftiness, whether as an admired quality or a subtle critique, serves as an important thematic element in literature, reflecting both individual character and societal values [8, 9].
