Literary portrayals of commitment reveal its polysemous nature, ranging from legal and procedural obligations to inner, heartfelt pledges. In some works, commitment signifies judicial restraint or detention—its usage invoking formal confinement as when an oath leads to a charge of contempt [1] or when legal texts describe confinement until further notice [2]. In stark contrast, other texts use the term to underline steadfast political resolve and social progress, as seen in declarations of expanded alliances against poverty [3] or renewed national pledges of liberty [4]. Meanwhile, commitment also encapsulates personal transformation, whether in a spiritual context, where baptism marks an inward change [5], or through narratives that evoke enduring emotional bonds motivating change [6]. This spectrum of meanings illustrates how the word commitment serves as a versatile symbol for obligation, identity, and transformative action.
