I know the definition, but I can’t comprehend the concept of it. I couldn’t point out an instance of nuance in literature. What are “shades of meaning?”
Edit: Thank you all for the answers but I’m still not understanding. My brain doesn’t grasp certain concepts and it’s so frustrating. Maybe some context will help? I was debating with a friend whether or not humans are inherently selfish, and they said the answer is more nuanced than yes or no. Does that mean more specific? Why can’t I understand this concept 😭

Nuanced means “respecting/understanding subtle differences”.
If we were discussing the morality of killing people, a simple view would be “killing is wrong”.
A nuanced view would be “killing is wrong but can be justified in some circumstances such as self-defense and soldiers at war”.
