motivation

Mace’s motivations are frankly baffling, and seem to owe more to a long public history of troubling behavior and questionable mental health than anything else.

Elton’s motivations don’t make sense, but at least Cera barges into the movie with so much energy that his sequence is a hoot.

And for Vayda, the motivation behind the work runs deeper: it's about "truly learning where we come from and the history of life on Earth, which is an amazing and beautiful thing."

“The American Revolution” doesn’t just correct apocryphal errors and present fascinating blow-by-blows of key battles; it provides more dimension to major motivations and important incidents.

But such is your fate when you mean so much to a language, a nation, a theater and generations of readers, whose motivations are, quite wisely, articulated during Act 1 of this hourlong program.
