Is 'all stories are love stories a novel' a common literary concept?

Well, it's not overly common. While there are some writing challenges where people attempt to write a novel in a year, it's not a mainstream or widely - recognized concept in the entire literary world. There are so many different ways of writing novels, and the time it takes can vary greatly from author to author. Some may write quickly, but others may take years or even decades to complete a single work. So, 'one year novel' is more of a niche or specific idea rather than a common one.

I would say it's not common. The literary world is complex and diverse. There are many novels that had a quiet debut but still became successful later on. So the concept of 'debut or die' for an English novel is more of a harsh view that might be held by some in the industry who are overly focused on immediate impact, but it's not a widespread or established concept.

In romantic literature, it's obvious. Characters fall in love, face challenges in their relationships, and that's the core plot. In adventure stories, like 'The Odyssey', Odysseus' journey is also driven by his love for his home and family. Even in horror, there can be love, perhaps a love that is being threatened or a love that has been lost which adds to the horror. So, in different ways, love is often at the heart of the story.

The concept of literature refers to the basic concepts and topics contained in literary works, as well as the understanding and expression of these concepts and topics. These concepts and topics could be characters, plots, environments, topics, symbols, images, and so on. They could also be some basic psychological descriptions, emotional descriptions, and so on. The concept of literature is an important part of literature and also an important object of literary research.

One common element is selflessness. In true love, people often put the needs and happiness of their partner before their own. Another is trust. Without trust, a relationship can't be a true love story. And of course, mutual respect. Partners respect each other's opinions, dreams, and boundaries.

One common theme is sacrifice. In many love stories, characters are willing to give up something for the sake of their loved one, like in 'Romeo and Juliet' where Romeo sacrifices his life for Juliet. Another theme is growth. Love often makes the characters grow and change. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennet grows in her understanding of love and relationships through her experiences with Mr. Darcy. And of course, there's the theme of passion. The intense feelings between the lovers drive the story forward.

One common theme is perseverance. In these stories, the lovers keep fighting for their relationship despite all the difficulties. For example, in the movie 'The Notebook', Noah and Allie face separation due to social class differences, but they keep coming back to each other. Another theme is sacrifice. Sometimes one or both partners have to sacrifice something, like a career opportunity or a relationship with family. Also, the theme of hope is often present. The lovers hope that one day things will get better and they can be together freely.

In these short stories, the theme of transformation is quite common. Love has the ability to transform people. A selfish person might become selfless because of love. Also, unity is a theme. The lovers are united against all external forces that try to separate them. Whether it's the judgment of society or the interference of other people, they stay together, and this unity is powered by their love.

On the other hand, it could be negative. If it's a story that makes all other stories seem unimportant or inferior, it might limit creativity. For instance, if a single story dominates the literary or cultural landscape so much that no new stories are created because they are all compared unfavorably to this one 'end - all' story, that's not good for the evolution of storytelling.

Some of the well - known ones could be 'Romeo and Juliet' by Shakespeare. It's a tragic love story of two young lovers from feuding families. 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is also among them, which shows the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy evolving from misunderstandings to love. And 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte, a passionate and somewhat dark love story between Heathcliff and Catherine.
