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 😭

Nuance is a scale for words.
If you rate things from negative to neutral to positive, you can see where your word is relative to other similar words. That’s nuance
-10 Engraged, (Most Angry)
-8 Hostile,
-6 Angry,
-4 Upset,
-2 Annoyed, (Slightly Angry)
0 Unfeeling (Neutral)
+2 Curious, (Slightly Happy)
+4 Playful,
+6 Happy,
+8 Elated,
+10 Loved (Most Happy)
