The term "boys" in literature is remarkably versatile, serving as a marker of youth, vigor, and social roles while also occasionally evoking themes of mischief or subservience. In many works, "boys" straightforwardly designates young males embarking on adventures or dealing with formative challenges, as seen in the lively escapades of Mark Twain’s characters ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). At the same time, authors sometimes employ the term to highlight contrasts in social expectations or to imbue a sense of group identity, whether in educational settings or family contexts, as in Dickens’s portrayal of classrooms and households ([6], [7], [8]). Additionally, in works like those by J. M. Barrie and Shakespeare, "boys" can carry symbolic weight—ranging from the eternal child to the embodiment of spirited defiance ([9], [10], [11], [12]). Thus, across genres and eras, "boys" is used not only as a simple descriptor of age but also as a literary device that enriches character dynamics and underscores cultural nuances about youth and growth.
