Literary authors have long employed "courageous" to evoke a sense of valor that transcends mere physical bravery and often touches on moral, emotional, and intellectual fortitude. In some works, it describes the daring spirit of heroes in the heat of battle and leadership—for instance, the depiction of wild, valorous warriors and steadfast captains [1][2]—while in others the term embraces quiet determination against personal adversity or societal pressures, as seen in reflections on inner resolve and the burden of responsibility [3][4]. The word is adapted to portray a range of characters, from a fearless mother standing against the world [5] to the ironic depiction of a man lacking courage in his internal struggles [6], underlining its versatility as a descriptor of human strength across diverse narrative landscapes [7][8].
