The ideology of personal responsibility. The fact that professional psychiatric health care is not available to all. The pressure of having to pretend that the marriage is alright, when husband and wife literally consider shooting each other.

There is reason in insanity.

Young children are of course symbols for innocence; times when worries were not too big. That there was (hopefully) always someone to turn to.
