Writers frequently use "glowered" to convey a charged, often hostile expression that speaks louder than words. It can suggest cold disdain or simmering anger, whether it's a character silently conveying disapproval, as when one man silently glowered at his horse’s ears [1], or when a character’s eyes seem to hold a murderous intent, as in the description of demons glowering along the sights of a weapon [2]. The term also adapts to softer, yet still telling moments, revealing an inner turmoil or bittersweet regret, much like a character glowering without replying before clinging to a loved one [3]. Authors sometimes extend the imagery to inanimate aspects of a scene—the sun, for instance, being described as glowering directly above a traveler's head [4]—adding a layer of symbolic gloom. This diversity in usage underscores how "glowered" enriches emotional landscapes in literature, whether heightening tension or deepening character portrayal [5] [6].
