| Themes
 | Confession/Guilt
 | Salieri does not in the end feel guilt, but the whole
film is a confession, and an indictment against
god, of his murder or god's favourite, Amadeus.
I suppose that Salieri feels guilt but he does
not repent. (Timothy Leuers) |
|
| Crucifixion
| Salieri intentionally destroys the
incarnation of God. |
|
| Envy
| Salieri: "God was
singing through this little man to all the world, making my defeat more bitter with every
passing bar." |
|
| Incarnation of God
| Salieri recognizes Mozart as the Incarnation of God
and seeks to destroy him. |
