In literature, "gloomy" serves as a multifaceted descriptor that enhances both atmosphere and character emotions. It is often used to evoke an environment imbued with a sense of foreboding or desolation, as seen in the late-night silence of a magical land [1] or the dark recesses of ancient tunnels [2]. Authors also employ the term to reflect internal states, where a character’s mood mirrors the oppressive surroundings—a stern or despondent expression that hints at hidden sorrow [3, 4]. Moreover, "gloomy" frequently appears to intensify the narrative tone, whether describing the bleak austerity of a house following loss [5] or the solemn, forbidding landscape that seems almost to choke life itself [6]. This versatility makes the word an essential element in constructing narratives that resonate with a brooding emotional depth and a palpable sense of melancholy [7, 8, 9].
