In literature, 'here' is often used to emphasize the present location or situation. For instance, in Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', Banquo's ghost appears and says, 'I have no quarry. If it were so, what need I, being but a thought, to stand in the corner?' To which Macbeth replies, 'Why, so; be gone and take thou pains. See, my good Lord, I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which, like the mountain inflamed, Apeaks my still-rising mind.' Here, Macbeth acknowledges his ambition and the presence of Banquo's ghost, emphasizing the importance of the current situation.
