The term “quiet” in literature is remarkably versatile, serving as both a description of serene atmospheres and a marker of internal states. It is often used to evoke a sense of calm and tranquility, as seen when a landscape or early morning is rendered with a cool, subdued light that suggests peaceful isolation [1, 2]. At times, “quiet” carries a subtle emotional depth, hinting at introspection or underlying tension—whether in a character’s reflective silence or in moments just before dramatic shifts occur [3, 4, 5]. It also appears in dialogue as a directive, capturing a command for restraint or a call for order in a moment of disturbance [6, 7]. Thus, across narratives ranging from adventures to intimate personal accounts, “quiet” enriches the narrative, its meaning shifting fluidly from a physical description of a still environment to a metaphor for inner calm or social composure [8, 9].
