Literary notes about Manifested (AI summary)

The word "manifested" in literature often serves to indicate that an inner quality, emotion, or power has become clearly visible or tangible. Authors use it to demonstrate how latent feelings or characteristics suddenly reveal themselves, as when a character’s internal struggle is drawn out in their countenance [1] or when divine interventions are made explicit by preaching or miracles [2], [3]. Historians and sociologists similarly employ the term to show how societal trends or personal dispositions turn into observable phenomena, thus linking abstract concepts with concrete evidence [4], [5]. Whether describing the subtle display of emotion or the dramatic unveiling of a transcendent force, the term bridges internal realities with their external representations.
