In literature, the word “vexation” is employed with remarkable versatility to capture a range of emotional states from mild irritation to deep inner turmoil. Writers like Fyodor Dostoyevsky use it to emphasize a weariness born of frustration ([1]) or the sudden burst of impatience amid critical moments ([2]), while characters in works by Elizabeth Gaskell and Stephen Crane reveal both subtle indignation and overt anger through its use ([3], [4]). The term also appears in classical texts and historical narratives, evoking not only personal dismay as in the Biblical style ([5], [6]) but also the weight of existential or even cosmic displeasure in works by Shakespeare and Rabelais ([7], [8]). Through these varied applications, “vexation” deepens our insight into characters’ internal conflicts and the broader textures of human experience.
