leitmotif


Explanation:
Tak też może być.
"Leitmotif in literature also refers to the repeated representation of certain themes or emotions throughout a book, play, or other literary works. In literature, a Leitmotif is used as a recurring event, object or even a character that the story always makes reference to. In works with counterpoint, leitmotifs can become a figure of analysis in which the different stories constantly/eventually lead to....:
The "leitmotif" is also present in Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The themes of the Virgin Mary, the Greek myth of Stephen's namesake, Daedalus, are some of the more noticeable leitmotifs throughout the work.

neutral  Sławek Wolf: leitmotif, a nasz motyw przewodni/wiodący, to nie motyw obiegowy.

  -> Racja - leitmotif jest w jednym dziele, albo dziełach jednego autora, a obiegowy w różnych dziełach różnych autorów różnych epok.
