["In literature, the word 'confoundedly' has been used to describe the perplexed or confused state of a character. For instance, in Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'Crime and Punishment', the protagonist Raskolnikov is left confoundedly after committing a murder, as he grapples with the guilt and the reality of his actions.", "In art, the term 'confoundedly' has not been explicitly used, but it can be inferred from the works that depict or convey a sense of perplexity, confusion, or bewilderment. For example, in Salvador Dalí's 'Metamorphosis of Narcissus', the protagonist Narcissus is depicted in a state of confounded amazement, as he gazes at his own reflection in the pond, unaware that he is actually looking at himself. The painting captures the sense of perplexity and wonder that Narcissus experiences as he contemplates his own reflection, and the painting leaves the viewer with a sense of confounded fascination, as they contemplate the painting's meaning and significance."]
