Literary notes about accompany (AI summary)
The word “accompany” is used in literature with a rich variety of connotations, often denoting both a physical and a symbolic joining or support. In many narratives, it simply signifies the act of going with someone, such as when characters journey to courts or remote landscapes ([1], [2], [3]), or when an escort is required on a long travel ([4], [5]). At times, it also carries a more metaphorical weight, indicating that qualities like emotion or fate are handed down alongside events or actions ([6], [7], [8]). Moreover, the term appears in military and strategic contexts, where the presence of a companion may be crucial for overcoming challenges ([9], [10], [11]). Through these varied uses—from literal companions on a journey to abstract elements that “accompany” life’s events—authors harness the word to enrich both the narrative structure and the reader’s experience ([12], [13], [14]).
