The word “lived” in literature is a versatile term that conveys both the experience of life and the specific location or circumstances of a character’s existence. Authors use it to indicate long, eventful durations—as seen when characters “lived through their long union very happily” ([1]) or “lived two and forty years” ([2])—as well as to situate characters in tangible settings, such as “lived with his two daughters” ([3]) or “lived in this town” ([4]). It can denote survival against overwhelming odds, like the solitary instance of survival from disaster ([5]), or be employed to evoke historical context, as in noting the lifespan of figures from ancient times ([6], [7]). In these diverse examples, “lived” not only marks the passage of time but also enriches narrative details by linking characters to their environments, histories, and personal experiences.
