What's the difference between 'theme' and 'motif'? 'I've got it!' he said. 'Got what?' 'The theme. The connecting link. The motif.' 'For the book, you mean?' (Chapter 4 - To Love and Be Wise, http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks08/0800551h.html#ch04)

" theme " is very common and used a lot. " Motif " is a word I and my friends have very very seldom used. It is very literal and used in literature.
