The term “disturbing” in literature operates on multiple levels, often describing both physical interruptions and internal, psychological unrest. It can denote tangible disruptions—such as astronomical phenomena that unsettle a character’s inner world ([1]) or noises that break the silence of a setting ([2], [3])—while also capturing the essence of mental disquiet, as when characters grapple with unsettling thoughts or emotions ([4], [5]). At times, the word is employed in dialogue to convey politeness or irony, evident when characters apologize for intruding ([6], [7]), or to critique societal imbalances where unexpected elements upend established order ([8], [9]). This layered usage enriches narratives by addressing disruptions that are both concrete and abstract.
