Night is often portrayed as a liminal space that both marks the passing of time and evokes a spectrum of moods—from anticipation and intimacy to mystery and foreboding. For instance, in Fielding’s narrative, “to-night” punctuates significant social moments with an air of immediacy [1][2], while elsewhere, the encroaching darkness deepens emotional isolation and sorrow, as in Dickens’ depiction of a heart steeped in brooding desolation [3]. Similarly, historical and dramatic texts use night to signal turning points, such as the cessation of hostilities with the fall of darkness [4]. In these ways, the word “night” enriches literary scenes by blending the literal passage of time with symbolic weight, underscoring its role as both a temporal marker and a mood-setting force.
