Literary notes about conclusion (AI summary)
In literature, "conclusion" functions in multiple ways—from signaling the end of a logical reasoning process to marking a narrative’s final resolution. It frequently denotes the outcome reached after piecing together evidence or arguments, as when an author infers the origin of a text or the implications of events ([1], [2], [3]). In dialogues and discourses, characters may use the term to ask for justification of a thought or to underscore the final moment of a discussion, heightening dramatic tension ([4], [5]). Additionally, it can serve as a structural marker, guiding readers toward a summative reflection on preceding ideas, whether in methodical treatises or in spirited narrative arcs ([6], [7]). This versatility not only anchors the text but also enriches its complexity by inviting readers to examine the reasoning or narrative journey that leads to a definitive end ([8], [9]).
