The adverb "simply" operates as a versatile tool in literature, often used to underscore the uncomplicated or unembellished nature of an action, emotion, or description. In some cases, it emphasizes the straightforwardness of a fact or process—as in the precise description of a mathematical operation where a triangle is "simply cut out" of paper [1]—while in other contexts it marks an action as unceremonious or without ulterior motive, such as when a character declares, "I'll simply go in and give it him" [2] or "she was simply overjoyed" that suggests an added nuance to emotion [3]. Additionally, authors employ "simply" to signal that a detail should be taken at face value, bypassing elaborate explanation (e.g., "They are simply the Romish army..." [4] or "she answered simply" [5]). This varied usage allows writers to temper descriptions and dialogue, delivering information in a manner that sometimes downplays complexity or imbues a sense of matter-of-fact inevitability [6][7].
