The word "restrain" appears in literature as a dynamic tool for depicting the tension between uncontrolled impulses and deliberate self-control. In some works it captures the inability to hold back physical actions or emotions—illustrated when a character cannot restrain a burst of laughter or the flow of tears ([1], [2], [3], [4])—while in others it is charged with the more abstract challenge of curbing passions, whether in political fervor or moral excess ([5], [6], [7]). Authors apply the term both literally, as when characters are urged to physically restrain their actions ([8], [9]), and figuratively, emphasizing the struggle to regulate inner desires or societal forces that threaten to overwhelm reason ([10], [11], [12]). This versatility enriches the narrative, framing restraint as both a personal and communal negotiation between impulse and control.
