The irony of addiction
Despite addiction being one of the central themes in the play, the reader finds it satirical that the described addiction is majorly positive. For instance, Yaz is enthusiastic about pursuing his career, while Ginny is obsessed with speaking helpful things like charity and offering cultural support. Therefore, the reader does not find the character's addiction to be destructive behavior.
The satire of the title 'Water'
The author depicts water as a unifying factor because it takes different shapes to achieve uniformity. For instance, various characters are enthusiastic about doing different things, but they agree on most matters at the end of the day. Ironically, the same water described as a unifying factor, it is also the taker of life. An illustration is provided when Chutes and Ladders almost die while swimming.
The paradox of discord and compromise
The reader asks the question, 'Can disagreement lead to reconciliation?' Ironically, the answer to this question is 'Yes. Professor Yaz's teaching style is majorly investigational and radical work that revolves around music theory. In her teaching, Professor Yaz concludes that discord is a gateway to a concession.
The satire of parenting
Parenting is often considered a responsibility that no one should run away from. Ironically, Ortiz’s mother does not warm up to her task of raising Ortiz. Instead, Ortiz is raised by Aunty Ginny. Therefore, the reader finds it satirical that a parent can disregard her responsibility and delegate it to another person willingly.
