Literary notes about galore (AI summary)
The word "galore" is employed in literature as a playful, almost rhythmic postpositive adjective that underscores abundance or an overwhelming quantity. In contexts ranging from the literal to the metaphorical, it enriches the imagery by suggesting that something exists in profusion, as in "diplomas galore" [1] and "food galore" [2]. It frequently follows a noun to accentuate the surplus, as seen when vivid descriptions of art and beauty are amplified with phrases like "Rubens, Hals, Van Dycks… galore" [3] or when adventurous narratives boast "adventures galore" [4]. In broader portrayals of excess—from items such as books [5] to lively celebrations with fireworks [6]—its usage not only creates a sense of humor and exaggerated largesse but also helps to quickly communicate the richness of the scene or subject being described.
