Some recurrent 'thing' that can define a piece of literature as a certain type. This 'thing' can be anything: setting, character, narration, plot, theme, writing style.

For example horses, cattle, deserts, scrub land, ten galleon hats, Victorian style dresses, savages, dirt poverty and lots of guns is a western motif.

What is meant by the Solweig motive or motif?

From the way I have seen this term used, it seems to refer to the Love Interest as a major element in a plot. Many nineteenth-century writers was suspicious of the Love Interest motive, did not use it as such, or had it watered down to Long-lost relatives- such as the sister of Ben-Hur in the novel by that name who was in a Leper Colony prior to her being cured by Christ. I think the term is of Scandinavian origin. Lois Lane is an obvious Solweig motif for Superman.
