Literary notes about FERVIDLY (AI summary)

The adverb fervidly is used to intensify the emotional charge and passion of both dialogue and action. It often appears to underscore a character’s inner conviction or desire, as when a statement or gesture is imbued with deep personal intensity [1][2]. In some instances, authors employ it to highlight the fervor in interpersonal exchanges or declarations of gratitude and determination [3][4][5], while in other contexts it colors the description of natural phenomena or ideological fervor with vivid intensity [6][7][8]. In each case, fervidly enriches the narrative by lending a palpable heat and immediacy to the moment, thereby drawing the reader into the immediacy of the scene [9][10].
