Themes/Motifs:

Happiness: After Harriet and David got married they were on a search for their “happy” family. Their dream of living in a big house with a lot of children overshadowed everything else. They rushed into having children and finding that happiness.
Fear: After the birth of Ben, the whole family feared him. The family couldn’t accept Ben for who is he and it was clear that they weren’t going to. No matter what they didn’t try to put their judgments aside and talk to Ben as if he was their brother/child.
Achieving the “dream”: Both Harriet and David were well aware of what they wanted. They were thinking the same about their future and how to acheve it. They were so focused on their dream that when Ben was born they didn’t show any love for him.
