What I mean by that is whatever your preoccupation: love, marriage, family, friendship, etc., this trope fills out, in general, the story urge. Mine might be danger, or the survival of it. (I know when I read Vollmann, or Norman Rush, even Bolaño; my favorite stories involve peril and a touch of mystery.)
