 Parental Abandonment: His father was murdered by his mother not really. When visiting her in prison, Harley gets the impression that she's relieved to be there, stripped of her parental duties.

 Hollywood New England: The story is set in rural Pennsylvania, but much is made of the class difference between the working-class Altmyers and their wealthy neighbour, whose father owns most of the land nearby.

 Likes Older Women: Subverted. Harley sort of falls into his affair with the mother next door, but he claims his life is "lousy with women."

 Promotion to Parent: Harley. He's offered a choice: He can be "an ADULT with dependents, or an ORPHAN with nobody."
