A motif is a literary device which resembles an idea, subject or element that will be constantly present throughout a story. This idea or specific theme dominates the whole outcome of the story, as developments are all aligned with it. An example of a motif is the idea that is presented to the reader that "the handsome prince falls in love with the peasant girl". The reader is guided by this idea throughout the story.
