The word rock functions in literature as a multifaceted symbol that straddles the literal and the metaphorical. It can denote a tangible, rugged object—whether serving as a piece of physical structure against which a character rests or as a daunting natural obstacle ([1], [2], [3])—or embody concepts of steadfastness, permanence, and foundational strength, as when it becomes a metaphor for faith and refuge ([4], [5], [6]). In many texts, rock also resonates with historical and mythic overtones, evoking ancient witnesses to human drama and the enduring forces of nature ([7], [8], [9]). This dual capacity enriches narratives by imbuing scenes with both physical presence and symbolic depth.
