In literature, the term "diverted" is often employed to indicate a shift or redirection—whether of attention, purpose, or even physical course. It can suggest a lighthearted, momentary distraction, as when merriment or play softens a character's focus ([1], [2]), or imply a more significant deviation from an intended path, such as a change in anger or ambition ([3], [4]). At times, it even conveys the literal redirection of natural forces or human endeavors, like a river’s altered course or funds being reassigned ([5], [6]). In its varied uses across narrative styles, the word subtly underscores how attention or trajectory can be skillfully manipulated or unexpectedly shifted, whether for amusement or dramatic effect ([7], [8]).
