Literary notes about violent (AI summary)
The term “violent” is deployed with remarkable versatility, not confined solely to physical force but extending to emotional intensity, natural phenomena, and even abstract or metaphorical actions. It can describe a physical outburst or struggle, as when a character’s anger erupts with a forceful stamping [1] or when bodies are shaken by unexpected shocks [2]. It equally conveys the crescendo of nature’s fury, from storms that intensify day by day [3] to hurricanes marking seasonal changes [4]. Moreover, its usage broadens into the realm of internal passion and intellectual effort, where love is depicted as an all-consuming, violent passion [5] or comprehension is achieved through a determined, violent effort [6]. This multifaceted application imbues the term with an intensity that amplifies the emotional and physical stakes across diverse literary landscapes.
