The word “caught” is employed with remarkable versatility in literature, serving both literal and metaphorical functions. In some contexts, it denotes the sudden act of perceiving or noticing something, as when an individual “caught sight” of another character ([1], [2]) or when a glimpse of a mood or quality is briefly captured ([3], [4]). It also frequently signifies the act of physically seizing or arresting someone or something, whether it is a criminal in the act of theft ([5], [6]) or a character being halted in movement ([7], [8]). Moreover, “caught” can figuratively express moments of abrupt emotional or physical reaction, such as catching one’s breath in a moment of shock ([9]) or even catching fire to create vivid imagery ([10]). This range—from the simple act of seeing to the more complex interplay of physical and emotional entanglement—demonstrates the term’s rich adaptability in enhancing narrative detail and deepening character interactions.
