Answer:
In narration, a motif is any recurring element that is important to the story.
So, from the story, the motif of wishing applies to the major characters in different ways.
For Yoni, he wishes for success, Sergei wishes for a friend, while the goldfish wants freedom.
The similar thing about their wishes is that they want all wish for what will bring satisfaction and contentment to their lives and it is different because they all have different wishes, as no wish is the same.
Stream of consciousness narrative is characterized by
a point of view which goes beyond a simple account from one character's
perspective and attempts to capture their internal thought processes,
particularly the free associations and strange links they make between topics.
The poem captures this narrative style by focusing on the thoughts and feelings
of the persona, who is of course named in the title. He is walking to meet a
woman for tea and is contemplating the question he is going to ask her, which we
can infer is a proposal of marriage. However, there is no arrival or meeting in
this poem. Instead, it consists of the internal and rather chaotic thought
process of J. Alfred Prufrock. As he walks along, he casts himself in the role
of various characters, including Lazarus and Hamlet, to name a few:
To
say: "I am Lazarus, come from teh dead,
<span>Come back to tell
you all, I shall tell you all"--</span>
