The word “throw” functions as a remarkably versatile verb in literature, bridging the gap between concrete physical actions and more abstract, metaphorical expressions. In some instances it denotes a literal act—such as the repeated attempt to throw a person into water [1] or the hurling of stones at a wall [2]—while in other contexts it reflects intangible actions like assigning blame [3] or shedding new light on a hidden narrative [4]. Authors frequently use it to suggest a forceful displacement, seen in scenes of battle or expulsion [5, 6, 7], and yet it can also express a self-effacing or desperate submission, as when a character throws themselves on the mercy of another [8, 9, 10]. This dynamic employment of “throw” not only enhances the vividness of a physical moment but also deepens the emotional or symbolic impact of the text.
