* AllMythsAreTrue: As is common in Milton's work, the setting mixes Christianity and Myth/ClassicalMythology in confused ways.
* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: The Spirit takes the form of Thyrsis, a shepherd who apparently works for the siblings' family but never actually appears.

* VirginPower: {{Discussed}} at length. The younger brother is worried that their virgin sister might be harmed (with the obviously implication that she might be raped), while the elder basically argues that, as long as she doesn't give in to temptation, her virginity will protect her from evil. A lot of analysis of the play is actually trying to figure out which one is right, since Comus doesn't actually harm the sister but ''can'' trap her.
