Tropes
Fiction tropes are recurring themes, plot devices, or motifs that are commonly used in works of fiction
to create engaging stories. Here are some of the most popular fiction tropes:
1. **The Hero's Journey**: This trope is all about a hero who goes on a journey to save the world. In The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Frodo Baggins embarks on a perilous journey to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth.
2. **The Coming of Age Story**: This trope is all about a young protagonist who learns important life lessons and matures over the course of the story. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout Finch learns about racism and injustice in her small town and grows up in the process.
3. **The Love Triangle**: This trope is all about a protagonist who is torn between two love interests. In Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Bella Swan must choose between her love for vampire Edward Cullen and her friendship with werewolf Jacob Black.
4. **The Dystopian Society**: This trope is all about a society that is oppressive and often post-apocalyptic. In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen lives in a world where children are forced to fight to the death in an annual event called the Hunger Games.
5. **The Time Travel Story**: This trope is all about a protagonist who travels through time to change the course of history. In Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Claire Randall travels back in time to 18th century Scotland and falls in love with a Highlander named Jamie Fraser.
These are just a few of the many tropes found in works of fiction. Other popular tropes include "the underdog story," "the redemption story," and "the revenge story."
