Among them are the Pygmalion motif in Jane Austen's Emma and Ivan Goncharov's Oblomov, The East in the literary-ideological discourse of the Russian symbolists, catharsis and dolor in the Doktor Zhivago and Lolita, and exotica in Valerii Bruisov's early urban poetry.
Gontsjarov's Oblomov could form an interesting study in kind to explicate the various features of laziness or drowsiness, and The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald may form a good candidate to draw the various features of greed.
