Byronically
Truculence means a kind of aggressive defiance—being quick to fight, combative, or showing bitter hostility.
If someone is described as “truculent,” they’re not just angry, they’re ready to clash. It carries a sense of raw belligerence, like a stance that dares others to challenge them.
Examples:
A truculent teenager might snarl back at every parental
He is obsessed with giving birth but has no interest in being maternal. Where Shelley’s Frankenstein is ruled by fear, del Toro’s is governed by Byronic self-aggrandizement. He does not run from the Creature; he imprisons, abuses, and attempts to murder it, furious at its perceived deficiencies.
