The term "inhumane" is employed in literature to evoke a range of responses to cruelty or insensitivity, often acting as a critical marker for behavior that falls short of compassion. In some passages, it is used to condemn the harsh treatment inflicted on people or animals, framing actions as utterly void of humanity, as when it underscores brutality in societal or governmental contexts [1], [2]. In dramatic or rhetorical settings, the word heightens the moral outrage of a character's conduct, whether to chastise an individual's actions [3], [4] or to illustrate a disturbing personal failing [5]. Other writers use it to explore a complex relationship between reason and emotion, suggesting that acts or policies may border on the inhumane as they conflict with our innate sense of empathy and justice [6], [7]. Altogether, the word functions not only as an indictment of cruelty but also as a nuanced commentary on the loss of essential human warmth.
