What are the motifs in The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel?

A recurring idea is atonement and forgiveness. The final step in the characters' growth process involves atonement and forgiveness. Through regressions, Azucena encourages Rodrigo, Citlali, and Isabel to give voice to their pent-up anger and so be ready to forgive those who have harmed them. This process also involves the recognition that they have caused others to suffer.
