The word "unsettle" in literature often conveys a sense of emotional or psychological dislocation, ranging from the disturbance of inner equilibrium to intentional challenges to established order. For instance, in Emily Brontë's work, the term reflects personal disquiet as a character is rendered vulnerable by another's actions [1], while Charlotte Brontë uses it more as a targeted affectation, implying the deliberate destabilization of another's composure [2]. Emerson's succinct declaration that he "unsettles all things" underscores a broader, almost philosophical mission to disrupt the status quo [3]. Similarly, in Benito Pérez Galdós's usage, the term is defined in relation to disorder and disruption, hinting at a linguistic malleability that spans mere physical disturbance [4]. E. M. Forster and M. E. Braddon further illustrate its conversational use to question the motives behind such acts of disquiet [5, 6]. In the ancient strategic context of Sunzi's work, unsettling becomes a tactical maneuver aimed at disorganizing an adversary's mindset [7], whereas Dostoyevsky reimagines the term within a socio-political framework, suggesting that unsettling outdated traditions can be a progressive act of reform [8]. Thus, across these varied texts, "unsettle" is appropriated to reflect both internal emotional shifts and external transformative actions.
