Quote:I'd agree that 'Lygia' is a great motif. I'm not sure I agree about the motivational analysis though. Taking Sienkiewicz (no, I'm not heading for my dictionary!) as the model, Lygia has more than a hormonal kick for Vinicius eventually, once she's put her feelings to the test, and Marcus, although initially inflamed erotically, develops one of those inspirational 'anima' devotions eventually, with Lygia as his muse and guide to truth. We can't count JC which has only the hint of a beautifully harmonised shade for Portia, or KoKs of course, so only BH is left to compare. The 'El Cid' love theme is also very evocative of course, but then so are 'Rowena', 'Rebecca', 'Guinevere', 'Elaine' .. and the 'Plymouth Ad' themes.
