Catherine’s Unraveling: From Professional Disdain to Symbolic Defiance

The young mums’ pushchairs are background elements in the playground scene, rolling steadily as Jamie Lockford’s hallucinations unfold. They symbolize the mundane, everyday routines that are disrupted by Jamie’s erratic behavior. The pushchairs serve as a contrast to the chaos, representing stability and normalcy in the face of absurdity.
