Writers have long employed the term “resort” in a variety of senses, using it both to denote a place of retreat or fashionable gathering and as a verb meaning to turn to a particular course of action. In some works, it characterizes physical locales that offer leisure or refuge—a suburban retreat in a Shakespearean lament ([1]), a bustling house of entertainment on the Thames ([2]), or a popular seaside haven ([3]). In other texts, “resort” conveys the idea of relying on a method when other options have failed, such as resorting to legal means ([4]), to artifice or even violence ([5]), or to an unpleasant measure as a final recourse ([6]). The word thus gains a dual life in literature, encapsulating both a tangible destination and a figurative last option in times of necessity ([7], [8]).
