I am so happy this post is about motifs, because there are so many in 4000 Miles! My favorite has to be when Leo says something intense or angrily, but on his face is a grin. The contrast between his physicall appearance and his mood never cease to amaze me and even amuse me. "Waddayacallit" Is another gem of 4000 Miles. This constant disconnect between Vera and the words she are looking for mirrors Leo and his being emotionally lost. He made out with his sister and saw his best friend die and now he is on a "break" at grandma's house. I just feel like Leo is sort of lost through out this entire play. I did notice a trend with Vera's hearing aie, whether is was her taking it out because of noise or forgetting to put is back in when she should be listening to Leo (that scene was awful for me to read.
