Literary notes about Venue (AI summary)

The term "venue" exhibits a remarkable range of meanings in literary texts. In legal narratives, it typically refers to the physical setting in which judicial proceedings occur—its alteration often signaling shifts in narrative focus or dramatic tension ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). At the same time, "venue" is employed to evoke vivid spatial imagery, as seen in the descriptions of majestic natural landmarks like Ben Venue, a setting that carries both geographical and atmospheric significance ([6], [7], [8], [9]). Additionally, authors sometimes play with the word to convey notions of arrival or origin, imbuing it with layers of metaphorical meaning that extend far beyond its literal definition ([10], [11]).
