"quibble"کی تعریف اور معنی

What is a "quibble"?

In fiction, a quibble is a plot device where characters take advantage of the precise wording of an agreement or condition to avoid its intended meaning or to escape a commitment. This often involves focusing on minor or literal interpretations to achieve a different outcome than what was originally intended. Quibbles are commonly used in legal agreements or magical conditions, such as prophecies, to create conflict or unexpected twists in the narrative. For instance, characters might use a quibble to fulfill a contract's exact terms while sidestepping its broader intent, creating an opportunity for conflict or deception within the story.
