The subject of teaching and teachers is also very important to the play. All of the characters are either teachers or students, and the traditional relationship between teachers and students is shown through the characters of Thami and Mr. M. Mr. M keeps an emotionally distant relationship and often tells Isabel that he will tell Thami what to do rather than ask him. Secretly, Mr. M tells Isabel that Thami is his favorite student and that his biggest goal, after all his years of teaching, is for Thami to succeed.
