Question

Which of the following is an example of motif?

Answer 1

Choices?

Answer 2

A motif is something that has symbolic importance to a story. Often times this object or idea is brought up several times in a book. I wish you said a book you are reading so i could throw in a big motif that relates to mood or theme.

For example, in Death of a Salesman, a play by Arthur Miller, the constant talk about Alaska and path less traveled by the protagonist Willy Loman, is about how his father found success in Alaska while he stayed in Brooklyn.

Another example, in Catcher in the Rye, by the late J.D. Salinger, would be the fact that the protagonist Holden Caulfield is searching for a partner in life, as he lives alone. The fact that he is alone is brought up time and time again in the book, when he calls former girls he knew, or talks to classmates that he did not like, but just needed to talk to. His loneliness is a driving force inside the book to examine his separation of himself and the world.

Hope this helps!!!
