Literary notes about confrontational (AI summary)

The word "confrontational" in literature is often employed to describe interactions or behaviors that are assertive or challenging in nature. In one instance, it questions the assumption that a formal setting like an interview must inherently involve aggressive dialogue [1]. In another, it is used to underscore a reflective moment when a character questions the aggressive tone they inadvertently adopt, hinting at a deeper internal conflict or a reconsideration of their approach in initiating a discussion or meeting [2].
  1. Besides, who says that all interviews are confrontational?
    — from NetWorld! What People Are Really Doing on the Internet and What It Means to You by David H. Rothman
  2. She listened to herself and wondered why she was starting off the meeting in such a confrontational manner.
    — from Syndrome by Thomas Hoover
