Masks are an important motif, as everyone in the story wears some kind of mask. For Clifford, it is the mask of a man trying to hide his sexuality. Helen tries to make herself appear as a strong woman who has hardened to the point of not caring. Susan wears the mask of a socialite and bon vivant, while in truth she is miserable.
