* Motel's sewing machine can be seen as a symbol of change and its inevitability: Tevye and most of the men in his village are wary of change, whether it's political ideologies, marrying outside of the faith, and the encroaching power of the state. But Motel is somewhat more forward-looking and decides to invest in a sewing machine. Not only does this make his job easier but the presence of his machine makes him the talk of the town. While Tevye stumbles because of his resistance to change, Motel prospers because he recognizes to need to move with change.

** In, at least, the movie version Motel actually talks about saving up so that Tzeitel and him can join Tevye and his family in America. In an ideal situation ("ideal" as in helping them all survive the Holocaust) Motel and Tzeitel went to America, Fyedka and Chava returned to Russia once it became the Soviet Union, and preferably settled east of Moscow, and Perchik and Hodel moved to the Autonomous Jewish Oblast in the far east of Siberia. Still not ideal situations for the two younger daughters and their families, but definitely preferable to sticking around Central Europe during that time period)
