<big>'''[[Motifs]]'''</big> - is the term used here to refer to concepts which are recurrent in the play, but which mostly "set the stage."  They communicate ideas to the audience.  They may have some influence on events, but they don't drive the course of the action the way the Themes do.  However, the Motifs can be vitally important in particular cases.  It is a judgement call whether a recurrent concept is a Theme or Motif.
