The word "own" functions in literature as a powerful marker of individuality, possession, and self-determination. It underscores unique characteristics, as when Jefferson emphasizes that each string possesses a distinctive character all its own [1], or when Austen subtly hints at the intricacies of personal feelings through the mention of her own emotions [2]. Authors also use "own" to highlight self-reliance or agency, as in Dickens’s use of phrases like "of my own will" [3] and Carlyle’s call to "do his own duty" [4]. In some cases, "own" reinforces the idea of inherent qualities or natural identity, from describing nature in its own plain garb [5] to emphasizing a match between deed and self, as seen in Dostoyevsky’s reflections on inner emotions [6] and personal experiences [7]. Whether denoting intimate personal insight, as in Locke’s meditation on the mind turning inward [8], or signifying tangible possessions and inherited legacy, as seen in the retrieval of one's own property [9] or the assurance of one’s own dwelling [10], "own" consistently stresses an intimate bond between the subject and their characteristics or possessions. This multifaceted usage lends a subtle intensity that permeates character development, setting, and narrative voice across a wide spectrum of literary works [1][11][2][8][4][10][9].
