An author uses a euphemism to soften or obscure the impact of a harsh or uncomfortable reality, making it more palatable for the audience. By choosing gentler or more vague terms, the author can convey sensitive subjects without causing offense or distress. This technique often reflects social norms or cultural attitudes, allowing readers to engage with difficult topics in a more approachable way. Ultimately, euphemisms can add layers of meaning and nuance to the text.
