Motif "rope ruse" is the popular one in telling stories in many countries. The plot of this style is that a mastermind uses ruses to cause conflicts between the rivals so that the latter kill each other or exterminate themselves. Thanks to this way, the mastermind can get out of debt, earn his/her living, exterminate rivals, or sometimes misgive between rivals. There are two characters in this motif - the mastermind and his/her rival. Three types of rope ruse are: each character at each end of the rope
one of the characters missing at the end of the rope
and the one without the rope.
