Across a wide range of literary works, the term "adapt" appears as both a literal and metaphorical tool for transformation. In some texts, authors use "adapt" to describe the creative process of reworking a work or object to serve a new purpose—as when Vanbrugh reimagines Molière’s plays for his house ([1], [2]) or when a text is reshaped into a new narrative form ([3]). In others, adaptation takes on a more internal or existential flavor, highlighting the human ability—or necessity—to adjust oneself to external circumstances, be they social, environmental, or cultural. For instance, figures in philosophical and reflective works are urged to mold themselves to fate or changing conditions ([4], [5], [6], [7]), while in narratives and social commentary, characters and communities struggle with or embrace transformation in the face of changing customs and environments ([8], [9]). Whether describing an act of creative reinterpretation or the personal process of modifying beliefs and behaviors, literature uses "adapt" to underscore the dynamic interplay between stability and change.
