Answer:

Motifs are the cultural/social expectations of the world.  They are mainly used in pre 20th century texts.  For example in the Bluest Eye by Tony Morrison, the young, poor, uneducated and black girl feels obligated to act ashamed, small and insecure when purchasing the Mary Jane's from the candy shop.
