Literature has long employed the term "tyranny" to evoke images of oppressive power, whether in the realm of politics, society, or personal relationships. In ancient texts, such as those by Plato, tyranny is depicted as the inevitable outcome of extreme forms of liberty and the corruption of democratic ideals ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), while Enlightenment writers like Thomas Paine and John Locke use it to condemn both political despotism and the misuse of authority ([6], [7], [8]). At the same time, authors across genres—from Stendhal’s remark on reprisal ([9]) to Thackeray’s portrayal of domestic rule ([10])—invoke tyranny to characterize injustice on both grand and intimate scales. Meanwhile, thinkers like Rousseau and Cicero explore its emergence and consequences in society, warning that even the pursuit of progress may inadvertently lead to new forms of domination ([11], [12], [13]). This multifaceted use underscores the enduring power of the word to encapsulate the fear, injustice, and passion inherent in any overreaching claim to authority.
