Patrick uses each character as a symbol of people in our society. In the case of Ethel, we see a representation of someone with the vulnerability of the elderly; one who makes it her responsibility to protect the other guests in the home. The majority of the theme is unfolded during the falling action and the conclusion of the play, when we begin to see each character conquering the weaknesses responsible for bringing them into the home. While we see the guests inside the home changing for the better, Patrick teaches us a lesson about our world when we see the "sane- characters of this play becoming those who show the most need for change. As a result of greed, Ethel's step-children do anything, including making fools of themselves, in order to gain control over the family fortunes; a perfect example of many members of our society who choose put their own lusts for riches over their reputation and family. .
When we picture a mental home, we usually jump to thinking of a very unstable, uncomfortable place with padded walls and people behaving uncontrollably. Instead Patrick presents this play in a way completely opposite of society's general representation of a mental asylum. In "The Curious Savage- Patrick surprises us by portraying each character as very "normal- unlike most would have expected, but each with 1 quality which causes society to shut them away in a place designed for people needing improvement and special attention. His way of saying "the real nuts are outside."".

In "The Teahouse of the August Moon,"" Patrick presents the theme by using an almost abnormal situation. Irony is the key element which we see repeated throughout the play. The theme becomes relevant as early as the rising action of the play, when we see the main character Captain Fisby being able to adjust to a small village in Vietnam, so much that he changes his and the village people's lives.
