Literary notes about tutelage (AI summary)
In literature, "tutelage" is often used to denote a state of guided development or supervision that shapes individuals, groups, or even nations. Authors employ the term to capture the influence of mentors or guardians, as when a young protagonist learns under an experienced guide ([1], [2], [3]). At the same time, the word can describe broader forms of control or dependency, extending from parental oversight ([4]) to political or economic subjugation ([5], [6]). In some works, tutelage is portrayed as a force that molds character and destiny, whether through intimate personal relationships or the more abstract governance of society ([7], [8]).
