That is not his child. This is first.
That's a metaphor. This metaphor is a bit complicated and includes a lot of things, but I think it can be summed up mainly in the future and hope: he wants to bury his child, and he wants to find a priest. Religion is involved at this time. In superficial opinion, a large part of the problem that religion has to solve is why or, what is hope for (heaven), what is the meaning of all our suffering. Through religion, man associates the future with the good. Sol wants a child for the same reason. Of course, he definitely didn't think so in his heart. In his heart, it was an absurd idea forced out by the situation, but as an audience, I think this wish reflects people's hope for the future and a pursuit of meaning. This pursuit is even higher than love. Although he was reluctant to part with that woman, he left because he wanted to send the symbol of the future, and he wanted a better future. At last they ran away, and the future came. But it brought the slaughter team. So far, all hope must be in vain. People have no future, only the present, whether beautiful or ugly, they can only live in it. If you can live and laugh, of course it is the best. The future is the future, ran into a forest, and turned into another present.
