* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Claire performs pretty amazing things in the name of finding her son, but retains a fear of water after nearly drowning in the sea. She's also afraid of many types of animals in the village at first, since she'd never seen them before. She also strongly dislikes being blindfolded thanks to having had her eyes covered when she gave birth to Gabriel.

* AdultFear:
** Claire's situation entirely: she gives birth (at ''fourteen'', no less!) to a child that she cannot keep and rear, and without the Stirrings pills she develops maternal affection for him. She visits Gabriel and his caretaker (Jonas's father), but has no idea that he will be ReleasedToElsewhere due to sleeping poorly. Then he goes missing, and she tries to find him by jumping on a boat and running away, an act that could have easily gotten her Released as well, and fails thanks to a shipwreck. [[spoiler:It takes making a DealWithTheDevil to get close to Gabriel, which causes him to not recognize her at first.]]
** Jonas's father gets a moment before Claire runs away to find Gabriel, when he says that his son is missing. Soon he will be facing the terrible and great memories that Jonas has left behind, and with it the feelings of intense love, fear, guilt and regret.
** For Gabriel, it's not knowing his mother and wanting to learn about her. He's willing to return to the community that wanted him dead to find her again.

The first part of the novel, ''Before'', follows Claire, girl from the Community shown in ''Literature/TheGiver'' who is three years ahead of Jonas. Having not been a good student, she is selected to become a Birthmother -- girls who give birth thrice to sustain the Community's population and are relegated to factory work afterwards. After complications necessitate a Caesarian delivery, Claire's assignment as Birthmother is terminated and she is reassigned to the Fish Hatchery. Nevertheless, she finds ways to spend time with her baby despite the system forbidding it by volunteering to care for Number Thirty-Six (whom ''Giver'' readers know as Gabriel) at the Nursing Center. She grows to love him as well, and realizes that she's the only one who experiences such deep feelings.
