The theme of the play that is developed by the details in this passage is Listening to people is better than assuming things about them. The family initially assumes that Mitchell is scared of the storm and goes on a search for him to apologize, only to find that he has a solution (the earmuffs) that allows him to cope with the situation on his own terms. This highlights the importance of understanding others' needs rather than jumping to conclusions.
