Writers use "predisposed" to connote a natural or inherited tendency that shapes a character’s behavior or an event’s outcome. In many works, it describes inherent qualities—whether we see a man whose irascible temperament leads him toward certain convictions [1] or a character whose very nature makes him more likely to succumb to illness or melancholy [2, 3]. The term also appears in contexts that blend physical, moral, and ideological predispositions, suggesting that both personal history and environmental influences can steer actions or beliefs, as when a hereditary disposition steers someone toward mysticism [4] or when societal conditions lead citizens to adopt certain political stances [5]. Overall, "predisposed" enriches literary narratives by indicating that underlying temperaments or circumstances predispose characters not only to particular outcomes, but also to a way of experiencing the world.
