The concept of anonymous has several uses in our language.
Unidentified person
The names that people carry identify us in front of others not only on the social level but also on the legal level, since no one can legally exist if they are not properly identified with a name and surname.
This situation is not only a right of the people but it is also a responsibility that we must fulfill before the law, so that if it corresponds, respond to those acts that violate it.
He who remains anonymous is not that he does not have a name, he does, but he keeps it hidden for some reason.
Literature: work that does not present the name of an author
In the literature is named anonymous to that work that does not state the name of its author.
“It is a very good and anonymous novel.”
Anonymous works do not always have a known author, since some may be the result of a tradition, oral dissemination, or the author is directly unknown because the information that proves the identity of the author was intentionally hidden or lost.
Person who for some reason does not make himself known until he achieves a goal
On the other hand, the word anonymous is used at the request of having to designate that person with an unknown name, who acts in front of others but does not want to make himself known for some reason.
“I have an anonymous admirer in the office.”
In this precise example and use of the term, a person may want to remain anonymous as a strategy to conquer a woman he likes, in this way he can send her flowers, gifts of any kind, in order to gain the favor and interest of her, and then when she knows that she is surrendered to her feet, she will reveal her true identity.
Written that does not bear the signature of anyone and that is usually left with a threat motivation
The other use of the term refers to writing that a person who does not want to reveal his identity leaves in a place with different intentions: to give a special message to someone, with the intention of intimidating a person, among other alternatives.
“ Juan received an anonymous letter saying that his wife is cheating on him with a coworker.”
For example, whoever sends the anonymous one usually does it at some time that he has studied, there will be no one who can see or recognize him.
You can also do it in complicity with another person who alerts you about when is the best time to quit.
And another ritual issue of these anonymous ones is that they are made on paper and cut letters are used from newspapers or magazines, or any other publication in order to prevent someone from writing and their handwriting can be traced.
Will be called anonymity to the status of an anonymous person, that is to say, it is an unknown person.
Someone may remain anonymous due to various circumstances: because no one has asked them to reveal their identity, because it is an occasional encounter with strangers, or because the person directly does not want to reveal their identity.
This situation of non-disclosure of identity may have to do with the fact that the person is involved in some illicit act, or because there is a circumstance of force majeure that prevents him from making himself known, such is the case of a witness with a reserved identity or of a secret agent.
Because of course, if their identities are known, they would be in a situation of high risk for their lives, exposed in front of everyone and they would not be able to carry out their work, for example in the case of secret agents or intelligence, if it is known who they really are. They will not be able to satisfactorily carry out their work, especially if they are infiltrated in a criminal organization. In this situation, the person's life could also be at risk because if it is discovered by the criminals that it investigates, they will surely want to eliminate it.
