- Return of the past
- Misdeed committed in the past is inescapable and must be rectified - K&J are punished for their failure to face up to past
- Tree "The wind must've got it" - symbolical return of the past
- Other inanimate objects act as trigger to remind characters of the past
- "baseball glove"
- George's "hat"
- "That's Larry's room"
- Incident with Bert signals difficulty Keller's have in avoiding reminders of past - events are ingrained in minds of even children
- "I want you to stop that..whole jail business"
- Bert - 'Chekhov's gun' - if a gun is hanging on wall in first act it has to be used in the next - signifies Keller's suicide
- "I showed you my gun"
- Ann's return sets in motion the chain of events that lead to true story of shop incident
- J&K have no difficulty openly discussing shop incident because their version is accepted at fact - George causes more tumult as he brings a version different to theirs
- "The court record was good enough for you all these years"
- Misdeed committed in the past is inescapable and must be rectified - K&J are punished for their failure to face up to past
