A literary topos (plural: topoi) refers to a conventional theme, motif, or rhetorical device used in literature. The term originates from the Greek word "topos," meaning "place," and in a literary context, it denotes a common or recurrent theme that can be found across various works and genres. Topoi can serve as familiar frameworks that authors utilize to convey ideas, evoke emotions, or engage readers.
