Depicting Characterization and Heredity in Proof David Auburn’s Proof‚ tells of the struggle of a young Catherine who is the daughter of a mathematician‚ Robert‚ and although she inherited some of his genius she also believes she inherited his mental disorders. The play throws in a couple twists: tricking the reader into thinking Robert is alive when he is actually dead and finding out that Catherine wrote the proof. There are three themes that overrides the play: that is insanity‚ heredity‚ and
