Throughout literature, the term "virtue" serves both as a marker of moral excellence and as an instrument for establishing authority. In many narratives, it conveys inherent moral qualities—often symbolizing purity, integrity, or the potential for personal redemption, as when immaculate love and virtue are portrayed as deserving of reward [1] or when personal virtue protects innocence [2]. In philosophical and political contexts, writers extend its meaning beyond personal morality to include the power that governs society and human nature, with virtue being seen as an essential trait of leadership or even the very essence that sustains communal order [3, 4, 5]. Moreover, "virtue" is sometimes employed in legal or formal expressions to indicate authority or qualification, as in usages that denote actions carried out by virtue of a decree or mandate [6, 7]. In this manner, the word operates on multiple levels across literary traditions, embodying both ethical ideals and practical functions.
