The word “leap” in literature wears many faces, acting both as a vivid image of physical motion and a metaphor for emotional and intellectual transformation. In some works, it captures a tangible burst of kinetic energy—rivers and characters vaulting over obstacles, whether it’s a daring jump to clear a barrier or an object suddenly springing forth ([1], [2], [3]). In others, it symbolizes an acute surge of emotion or the rapid transition between states of mind, as hearts skip with joy or characters shift decisively from past to present ([4], [5], [6]). Even when used in the context of a rigorous mental shift or as an idiomatic expression of escalation, “leap” underscores a moment of change that is as dramatic as it is dynamic ([7], [8]).
