"Son of a bitch! I'm so glad you're leaving! She began to cry. You can't even look me in the face, can you?
This story is very short but from the beginning, the tone states that something bad is about to happen. Arguing generally leads to violence, and with a baby in the room, things were not looking good. Then tone in the first part is hostal, and hateful. The separating couple acts like they don't even notice the little baby in the room, until the argument become directed toward the subject of the baby. In the heat of the situation the care of the baby was all but disregarded, by the father, and only slightly by the mother. If either one of them had been level headed and wanting the best for the child, they would have handed over the baby, rather than see it get hurt. Because of the ager felt in the beginning of the story, the baby paid the ultimate price. Because both of the parents wanted the baby so bad, with no regard to the baby's welfare, they with both not have the baby. This is a reversal of the Bible story, where solomon threatens to cut the baby in half, because the mother in that story would rather see her baby alive, no matter what. These parent were selfish and ultimately choose the to have the baby cut in half.
