Troupes

In general knowledge, a "trope" refers to a recurring theme, motif, or common concept in literature, art, or media. Tropes can include character types, plot devices, or stylistic elements that are easily recognizable and often used to convey ideas or tell stories. For example, the "reluctant hero" is a trope where a character is hesitant to embrace their destiny but eventually rises to the challenge. Tropes help create familiarity and can enrich storytelling by building upon audience expectations while also allowing for innovation and variation in creative works.
