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.
The comparisons will be like following:
a. Zeena and Amanda are two women who overbear or overprotect their men, ethan and tom respectively. These two women make their lives unsuccessful and try to "kill" their dreams
b. Both Ethan and Tom are alike in the sense that both feel trapped and they want to flee from their bad situations regarding women: Ethan with his wife Zeena and Tom with his mom and sister
c. Both works have the same subject: A man who is controlled by a woman and he desires to flee from it with a posible person or situation that can help them get free. So the subject may be how people quit their dreams quickly for someone who is not going to make them happy.
