Motif: any element, subject, idea or concept that is constantly present through the entire body of literature. Using a motif refers to the repetition of a specific theme dominating the literary work.
At the beginning of chapter 9, the only word to describe the scene is endless love. The literary device of motif is seen through the endless love for Billy Pilgrim from Valencia. Throughout the novel, we have seen the love that Valencia has for Billy grow. Even to the end of her life, Valencia cared for Billy. Even the last moment of her life were spent caring for Billy. Her love for Billy was so strong that when she found out that he might die, she was overcome with emotions. She was so overcome with emotions that she wrecked her car to the point that she shouldn't be driving it. She didn't even consider any of the risks of driving her car to the hospital. All she cared about was Billy. From the time that we met Valencia, we knew that she was in love with Billy. Even through all of his hard times in the war, Valencia stood by his side and always loved him. From the first moment we met her to the last moment we saw her, her love for Billy continued to grow stronger than ever until the end.
