iris murdoch's style

i notice the following motifs in iris murdoch's novel:

  1. the mistress of the marriage left and the couple reunited (failed menage-a-trois)
  2. homosexual relations
  3. a damsel in distress (female protagonist)
  4. an elderly man, who later died at the fringe of post-climax
  5. comments on god (not so much on religion)
  6. main protagonist is a male
  7. the story is around a group of elitist, usually from oxford
(the following was written on 15/06/2010)

and that is because she is exploring the motif of 'love'.
