In literary works, "confident" is employed to evoke a state of assuredness that can range from military poise and physical assurance to inner self-belief and even hubris. At times, the term portrays a character's bold stance in the face of adversity—such as a soldier secure in his tactical positioning [1] or a person striding with self-assured grace [2]—while in other narratives it reflects a deeply personal inner certainty about future success or inherent ability [3, 4]. Conversely, the word may also hint at overconfidence or a vulnerability to criticism, highlighting the dual nature of such self-reliance [5, 6]. Whether describing the confident tone of a leader [7] or the serene composure amid turmoil [8, 9], authors use "confident" as a versatile descriptor that enriches character development and builds narrative tension.
