In literature, “supported” is employed in a variety of contexts, both concrete and abstract. It can describe literal physical stability, as when scaffolding supports seats ([1]) or when columns support a roof ([2], [3]). At the same time, the term often conveys abstract forms of assistance or reinforcement: armies and initiatives are supported by additional forces ([4], [5]), while characters are depicted as being emotionally or intellectually sustained in times of adversity ([6], [7]). Authors also utilize “supported” to denote the confirmation or backing of a claim by evidence or precedent ([8], [9]), demonstrating the word’s versatility in bolstering ideas and narratives throughout literary works.
