The term "whatever" in literature is extraordinarily versatile, acting as a tool to convey indifference, generality, or an open-ended condition regardless of context. For instance, Dostoyevsky employs it to emphasize an unchanging duty amid varied personal circumstances (“whatever happened to me” [1]), while Montgomery and Dreiser use it to express a nonchalant inclusiveness in honorific and relational contexts ([2], [3]). In philosophical and moral musings, texts such as Mill’s Utilitarianism ([4]) and Hume’s Treatise ([5]) deploy "whatever" to signal that any change or quality is assessed within a broader, universal framework, whereas Suetonius and Epictetus ([6], [7]) use it to accentuate determinism and acceptance of outcomes. Even in dialogue, as seen in Dickens’ works ([8], [9]) and Hardy’s character interactions ([10], [11]), "whatever" serves to underscore remain-determinative attitudes or dismissive responses. Overall, whether marking a casual aside, an all-inclusive condition, or an emphatic refusal of specificity, "whatever" enriches the narrative by linking individual details to a wider, often abstract, thematic concern.
