The subtle and minor difference in the shades of concept and interpretation is termed as Nuance. Nuance reflects different colors of meaning, similar to a picture with various shades of grey. The meaning of nuance can be reflected by an example, a character of a novel is walking in the room, imagining him shuffling in the room will present a different picture. Both the scenarios depicts movement but two different ways, but with different gestures. There are two elements that can lead to the concept of nuance, connotation and subtext. The meaning of connotation depicts the understanding regarding emotional connection or cultural association with the presence of phrases and words carriers with literal concept as well as meanings along with denoted depiction. The aspect of displeasing and pleasing emotional association depicts the positivity or negativity of connotation. Subtext refers to any creative content of the author or the characters that has not been announced by them explicitly, but it is implicit in nature, that is it can be understood by the observer of the task as the production starts unfolding. The concept has been historically used for implying subjects that are controversial in nature. It has been used mostly without drawing any attention, of the censors. This is especially true in case of comedies and is common in case of science fiction where making social critiques can be easier as well as safer if set in a particular time other than the (author's) present.

Nuance in reading is of great significance. The word when referred deeply, it can be said that it is the difference between the reality of the life and the characters that are stereotypical in nature. It can be stated to those little actions that have huge impacts. Using of nuance in writing means bringing the character into life.  Nuanced elements can make the characters breathe throughout the story. Two writers can write exactly the same thing and may have exactly the same bottom line in the head but the one who can include nuances in the writing can actually make the readers more attracted. This means words can be the same but there can be a slight difference in the expressions, pause, emotions and feelings being used along with just the bottom line of the writing. In other terms it is called as the shades of meaning. A single word can change the whole meaning of a sentence. So if nuances are not properly used then the readers can be miscommunicated about the exact message of the literature referred. For example if we say “The love of a father” and “The father’s love” – Both these sentences have two different meanings. Father’s love specifies to a particular father but the love of a father is more general in nature and refers to all the fathers. Therefore, nuances are very important while expressing about anything. One needs to analyze the choices of the words and phrases so that one can actually say what one desire
