The term “thwarted” in literature often evokes the sense of obstruction—whether of ambitions, desires, or carefully laid plans—with an echo of both external force and internal defeat. Writers deploy the word to highlight characters’ struggles against fate or societal impositions, as in the frustration of political maneuvering [1] or the sorrow of unfulfilled love and purpose [2]. It captures a moment when efforts are undermined, as seen by characters facing continual barriers in their pursuits [3], or when intentions, no matter how fervent, ultimately falter under unforeseen circumstances [4]. This layered usage enriches narratives by emphasizing the tension between human determination and the inexorable, often indifferent realities of life.
