Across literary works, the term "savage" functions as a multifaceted descriptor that traverses physical brutality, untamed nature, and even cultural criticism. In some contexts, it conveys a visceral, almost primal intensity—a blow that shatters silence with unrelenting force [1], or an untamed landscape where raw instinct reigns [2]. Yet, it is also deployed to question the boundaries between the “civilized” and the “uncivilized,” as in notions of the noble savage whose unspoiled nature both captivates and confounds [3, 4]. Furthermore, "savage" delineates extremes of behavior, whether illustrating furious, wild outbursts [5, 6] or establishing a stark contrast between refined societal order and the inherent roughness of human nature [7, 8]. This versatile usage underscores the word's enduring power to evoke both admiration and revulsion in the realm of literature [9, 10].
