What is the general term for "similarity between (elements of) 2 works"?

[Frustration]

Narrative parallel?

Narrative parallel?

I think that they were more approaching a term involving affect over narrative. I like parallel though, thus I would go with paralleled nuance

Idk "parallel" wouldn't necessarily apply to a homage or pastiche etc., especially if it's one scene or shot ir something?

Although from kinda looking around a bit, it seems like such a term doesn't exist at all - or sb would've used it at some point already lol;

came across a book online, which I think may qualify as "academic" or "literature" - it's called "Music in the Theater: Essays on Verdi and other Composers", and highlights various examples of him using influences from previous composers, how they're "too similar to not he intentional" and how that contradicts his self-made image as "uneducated and inspired";

so that would've been a good time to use that "general default term", and he doesn't - so I guess terminology's a bit messy in that area and it doesn't exist. Hm, oh well.

Eh, default word for *all* types of resemblances, narrative as well - just to clarify lol.
But yeah, seems like it doesn't exist though...
