Line 18:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Too many to mention. Lets just say that there are many different opinions on Frank and April as people and the merits of their actions.
* [[Death by Childbirth]]: {{spoiler|April, although it's more like "death-by-attempted-abortion"}}.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|April dies giving herself an abortion and Frank goes on to live unhappily ever after. Their unhappiness even affects their neighbors
* [[Exiled to the Couch]]: April puts herself there, and Frank is less and less affected.
* [[The Fifties]]
* [[Here We Go Again]]: {{spoiler|After all the angst in this film, this is implied as some new neighbors move in to the Wheelers' house
* [[Is That a Threat?]]
* [[It Got Worse]]: The Wheelers' marriage.
* [[Mad Mathematician]]: John Givings, except he's also the [[Only Sane Man]] in a warped way. He's the only character who [[Brutal Honesty|always says exactly what he feels]] and calls everyone else out on their hypocrisy. While he has a history of violence, the supposedly "sane" Frank and Shep have both hit
* [[Masochism Tango]]
* [[Milking the Giant Cow]]: Literary example - at one point, Frank puts down a glass so he can "make a gesture of impassioned earnestness." Of course, almost everything he and April do is some kind of performance.
