The word "driven" is richly employed in literature to convey both literal and metaphorical forces that move characters, objects, or entire armies. In some instances, it depicts physical movement or coercion, as when livestock are forced into a camp to serve a military need [1] or when men are compelled by external forces to retreat or advance on the battlefield [2, 3]. In other works, authors use "driven" to express inner compulsion or intense emotional experiences, such as the overwhelming despair pushing a character toward self-destruction [4] or the inexorable pull to take action under moral or existential pressure [5, 6]. Additionally, the term extends to describe natural phenomena or mechanical motion—capturing the dynamic flow of vehicles propelled by wind and tide [7] or the steady progression of time and history, as forces are metaphorically "driven" from one state to another [8]. This versatility lends the word a power that resonates across genres and contexts, encapsulating both the physical and the psychological dimensions of being forced onward.
