The author repeatedly points out how each person of interest in the examples was exposed to lucky circumstances, allowing them to spend additional time on activities they would later succeed in, just like he did in the introductory section speaking of

As he heard Aradia’s footsteps fade into the distance, Vladimir hoped Dr. Walker would keep her safe. He’d been acting strange as of late. Maybe the pressures were getting too much for him, but Tatiana was convinced that the Doctor wasn’t a weak link. He could be relied upon. Too late to turn back now, Aradia was on her way to him and Vladimir still had Andrei in front of him, seething like a rabid, wild dog. “This confirms everything, old man.” Andrei challenged, talking with his hands waving manically

The play begins with two characters in a room; unlike in other plays that we are familiar with, it begins in silence. There are no words spoken at the start till Gus re-enters the basement room. Ben is reading a newspaper. Gus tries to engage Ben in a conversation regarding the contents of the newspaper. All questions come from Gus and answers by Ben. Ben evades questions.

I knew I needed a second opinion and intended to speak to Lucky when I realized that in my fit of despair I had left him behind.
