4,000 Miles is full of motifs. There are many repeated images and ideas throughout, but I am going to focus on the backslashes in the text. This is an example of people talking at the same time. The play is littered with backslashes. Nobody really seems to care about what the others are saying, and they always talk on top of one another. This shows a huge sense of disconnect. It is sad that they completely miss what the other person is saying because of their own selfishness.
Flea Out!
