"But he would not let go. He felt the baby slipping out of his hands and he pulled back very hard.
In this manner, the issue was decided."
The husband and wife are fighting and a divorce is likely taking place. The man is leaving the house and they are fighting over posessions. Then, they start to fight over their baby. My first thought was that they both love the baby so much and do not want to let it go. However, I later realized that they do not love the baby at all. They are fighting over it just to fight so one can have control over the other. They show no concern for the safety of the baby what so ever. I do not think either of them deserve the baby. I'm not totally sure, but I want to believe that they baby is symbolic for something else. Maybe for control over the relationship and the split. No one wants to feel like they are out of control after a break up/divorce.
