Literary notes about create (AI summary)
The word “create” in literature assumes a multifaceted role, serving as both a marker of physical fabrication and a metaphor for abstract or spiritual transformation. In some texts, it denotes the literal act of making something tangible, as when something artificial is fashioned to mimic precious objects [1] or when a society is constructed to manage new challenges [2]. In theological and philosophical contexts, “create” acquires a divine tone—illustrated by the biblical portrayal where light and darkness are fashioned, thereby underscoring cosmic dualities [3]—while in artistic writings it captures the essence of evoking moods or personal impressions, reflecting an inner realm of invention [4]. The term is equally potent in social and political discourse, where it describes the building of relationships or even adversarial dynamics [5, 6], demonstrating its broad versatility across literary genres.
