What are the motifs in This Is Our Youth by Kenneth Lonergan?

Apathy and resignation is a recurring idea in the story. Dennis and Warren are apathetic characters and Warren is resigned to his fate in a meandering, chaotic world. Unlike their father's drives for success and wealth, they are shadow figures simply surviving without the stresses, expectations, and anxieties of the elite while experiencing the more extreme stresses of the drug culture. Dennis feels his sense of power only by virtue of his adoring circle of similarly misdirected friends, equally apathetic about life, such as Warren.
