Answer: A motif is found in a single story, while an archetype spans many stories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The motif repeats itself and is only for that one story.

An archetype is a pattern across many stories.

A motif is a recurring element within a story and archetype brings in elements based on what we know or expect like a pattern
