For more detailed explorations of motifs in literature and their distinctions from symbols, the relationship between motifs, symbols, and themes can be complex and varies depending on the context. Some view motifs as recurring symbols that reinforce themes, while others see them as distinct from symbols, with their own role in building narrative and thematic structures. Motifs can be concrete elements like objects, actions, or events that recur throughout a narrative, linking disparate elements and deepening thematic exploration. They can serve various functions, such as uniting story threads, symbolizing themes, creating cohesive moods, and foreshadowing events​​​​.
