Which two themes of O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon are reflected in this excerpt from the play?

ROBERT: Not so long when you come to consider it. You know the Sunda sails around the Horn for Yokohama first, and that’s a long voyage on a sailing ship; and if we go to any of the other places Uncle mentions—India, or Australia, or South Africa, or South America—they’ll be long voyages, too.

ANDREW: You can have all those foreign parts for all of me. (After a pause) Ma's going to miss you a lot, Rob.

ROBERT: Yes—and I’ll miss her.

ANDREW: And Pa ain’t feeling none too happy to have you go—though he’s been trying not to show it.

ROBERT: I can see how he feels.

ANDREW: And you can bet that I’m not giving any cheers about it. (He puts one hand on the fence near ROBERT).

ROBERT: (putting one hand on top of ANDREW’S with a gesture almost of shyness) I know that, too, Andy.

ANDREW: I’ll miss you as much as anybody, I guess. You see, you and I ain’t like most brothers—always fighting and separated a lot of the time, while we’ve always been together—just the two of us. It’s different with us. That’s why it hits so hard, I guess.

ROBERT: (with feeling) It’s just as hard for me, Andy—believe that! I hate to leave you and the old folks—but—I feel I’ve got to. There’s something calling me—— (He points to the horizon) Oh, I can’t just explain it to you, Andy.
