Literary notes about persuadable (AI summary)

The word "persuadable" in literature is often invoked to describe a state of vulnerability or submission to external influence. For example, Mark Twain’s passage advises, “Be weak, be water, be characterless, be cheaply persuadable,” suggesting that those who lack firm convictions might easily yield to prevailing trends or dominant opinions [1]. In this context, "persuadable" carries a cautionary tone, warning readers about the risks of relinquishing independent thought in favor of conformity.
  1. It said, “Be weak, be water, be characterless, be cheaply persuadable.”
    — from What Is Man? and Other Essays by Mark Twain
