The term "authority" in literature is shown to be a multifaceted concept, often implying not only an external source of power or legitimacy but also an internal quality that enhances credibility. Some authors evoke authority to denote the trustworthiness of witnessed testimony or expert opinion, as when a speaker submits to the weight of renowned testimony [1] or upholds belief through solid validation [2]. In other contexts, authority is deployed to signify institutional or legal legitimacy, whether in governmental decrees [3, 4] or the sanctioned power of religious figures [5, 6]. Meanwhile, literary figures may manifest personal authority that commands respect or even critiques established power structures, as seen when authority becomes both an emblem of innate leadership and a target for subversion [7, 8, 9]. This usage underscores a dynamic interplay between the acceptance of established norms and the challenge to their authority, reflecting society’s evolving understanding of power and influence.
