Literary notes about Loquacious (AI summary)

Literary authors often use "loquacious" to vividly characterize individuals whose talkative nature shapes their identity and advances the narrative. It can describe someone whose garrulousness is charming and infectious, as when good-humor spreads among company [1] or when a painter cheerfully discusses his work [2]. At times, the term carries an ironic or critical tone, highlighting a character’s excessive chatter that contrasts with the silence or measured speech of others [3]. In other instances, "loquacious" is employed to underscore social vivacity or even to critique vanity and verbosity, lending a nuanced quality to portrayals of human temperament [4] [5].
