The word "course" appears with striking versatility in literature. In some instances, it functions as an adverbial interjection—"of course"—to confirm or emphasize an idea in a natural, almost conversational way (as seen in [1], [2], and [3]). In other passages, it denotes a progression or the unfolding of time and events, whether referring to a journey or life’s inevitable path (as in [4] and [5]) or the anticipated course of history and actions ([6] and [7]). Moreover, it is sometimes used to indicate routine or customary processes, even adding a subtle ironic twist when a character acknowledges the obvious ([8] and [9]). This multifaceted usage enriches narrative tone by linking both the literal and the figurative progression of events.
