- Social Responsibility
- J's crime violated an implicit social contract prohibiting them from causing harm to others - his decision to let Steve take the blame is an even greater dereliction of his social responsibility
- J shows he understands the nature of his crime and his deception is calculated-he constructs a story that belittles Steve and puts himself in a favourable light but is always ready to forgive him
- "junk em', Steve, we can afford it. But alone he was afraid"
- Labels are given which link to the degrees of responsibility within society - show the importance place on honesty and responsibility
- "Big men" "little men"
- Ironic that the people who suffer for J's crimes are those risking their lives to protect others
- Kate's tenderness towards Chris in act 3 implies she will achieve redemption
- "Live"
- Injustice - people have accepted J back into the community
- "You play cards with a man you know he can't be a murderer"
- Larry's death shows J he can't view society separate from his family - Larry's death is a synecdoche for all the pilots killed by the cylinder heads
- "They were all my sons"
