Love motive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Love Motive is possibly the most common of motives in novels, songs and movies. Even when a such novel, song or movie is not directly about love, there is a good chance that love is a sidenote motive.

One popular example of a book without a love motive is Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

[edit] Popularity of Love Motive

There are multiple plausible reasons why the love motive is almost ominously present. One reason may be that it is a theme that occupies everybody, regardless of age, race or cultural background.

Another reason would be that 'love' in these media: novels, songs and movies is similar to 'fun' in games (see external link #1); it is perceived to be more commercially viable when it incorporates that mentality.
