Line 24:
* [[Like Father Like Son|Like Father Like Daughter]]
* [[Maybe Ever After]]: At the end of the play it seems that Catherine has forgiven Hal, as she's discussing the proof with him, but the nature of their future relationship is left open ended.
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: The opening scene where Catherine talks to her (dead) father. Maybe she's losing it, or maybe she was just dozing off, or maybe it was ghost (generally thought to be one of the first two).
* [[Mad Mathematician]]: Robert has schizophrenia, as seen in the flashback scenes, and his work devolves into bizarre ramblings. Possibly Catherine.
* [[The Mentally Disturbed]]: Robert
* [[Missing Mom]]: The mom gets barely a passing mention, having died years before the action of the play.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice job betraying her trust, Hal.]]
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: Robert, in addition to being Catherine's father, was Hal's adviser for his doctoral thesis. Also, his death is the impetus for the discovery over Catherine's proof, which she says she worked on to pass the time while taking care of Robert during his long illness.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Robert
* [[The Public Domain Channel]]: Robert watches ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]''.
