* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Subverted, actually. Oeroeg's and Johan's mothers are both relatively fair-looking women, but Oeroeg's mom soon starts to look old and weary (having to take care of eight children by herself) while Johan's mother stays pretty. But in contrast, Johan's mother {{spoiler|strikes up an affair with Johan's personal teacher, [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|divorces his father and takes off to Holland, leaving her son behind without remorse]]}}.
* [[Black Best Friend]]: While Oeroeg and Johan are on equal terms to ''each other'', to their respective communities it comes off as this, and they are mocked for it, too - Oeroeg espcially, who is forced to change schools.
