Metaphor for the stressful nature of couple relationships in general?
Or the breakdown of one's marriage, perhaps?
shareSorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. There are many metaphors in the movie, are you alluding to a specific part or the movie as a whole? If you're talking about the monster, then yes, I can certainly see how nurturing something corrupt and toxic even to one's own detriment could be a metaphor for the couple's relationship. But overall the depictions of a breakdown in a marriage are portrayed very litterally.
