The main themes in The Miracle Worker are perception and prejudice, the importance of communication, perseverance and patience, and love and letting go. Perception and prejudice: Annie is able to see Helen as an equal, while the Kellers learn to see beyond their initial judgments about Annie.

The Miracle Worker, author William Gibson conveys a greater purpose than merely telling the story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan. There are several themes, or meanings, Gibson shares with us about life. One such theme is that of discipline. Throughout the play, the idea of disciplining Helen is a point of conflict. Annie wants to discipline Helen consistently. Annie realizes that Helen will benefit from having boundaries in her life, and Annie expects Helen to behave appropriately. Captain Keller and Kate, on the other hand, do not discipline Helen. They have few expectations of her, and their pity prevents Helen from learning.

Another theme in The Miracle Worker is the theme of authority. Several characters struggle for authority throughout the play: Captain Keller, Helen, and Annie. Gibson uses symbolism to enhance the theme of authority. Symbolism is when an object represents something else. In this case, keys symbolize authority. The character who possesses the keys is the person in charge of the household. We see Helen with the keys. Annie is in charge of the keys during Helen’s temper tantrum in the breakfast scene. Later, Helen gives the keys to her mother. At the end of the play, Helen takes the keys from her mother and gives them to Annie. This is symbolic of Helen accepting Annie as an authority figure over her.
