In literature, “credulous” is frequently employed to characterize characters who accept ideas and claims with uncritical gullibility, a trait that writers use either to evoke sympathy or to critique naïveté. The term often underscores a vulnerability to deception, as seen in passages that portray fools or simpletons ensnared by their unwillingness to question what is presented to them ([1], [2]). At times, the word carries an ironic tone, highlighting how even the well-intentioned can become ensnared in error through unthinking belief ([3], [4]). This multifaceted usage spans genres—from dramatic commentary in classical works to more subtle social observations—demonstrating how credulity frequently serves as a marker for both the innocence and the peril inherent in unquestioned faith ([5], [6]).
