It's the book of Genesis. Jennifer Lawrence represented Mother Earth, and her husband represented God. Their child was Jesus Christ. The Man and Women represented Adam and Eve.
What does the heart in the toilet represent in mother?
It's a heart. I think it represents how God was trying to help Adam/humanity even though he was determined throw his heart away in the pursuit of his selfish goals. I think the Adam threw up his heart while they were in the toilet when you glimpsed Adam's rib wound.
Lawrence's character refuses, but the poet snatches the child while she sleeps and the masses of revelers pass the baby around until they accidentally kill it. Then they eat the dead baby. Yes, you read that right. Not only does this movie include unintentional infanticide, it adds child cannibalism on top of it.
The movie explores biblical allegories, including the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the birth of the Messiah, while also addressing themes of humanity's downfall and the abuse of Mother Earth.
There's also a frog, which appears briefly in the film and biblically represent “unclean spirits in the sight of God.” Then there's the mystery lighter, which also appears on the film's second illustrated poster, and which reappears throughout the film and is the key to Lawrence's eventual emancipation in the film.

Lawrence previously opened up about the injuries she sustained on the set of "Mother!" She told Vogue in a 2017 cover story that she hyperventilated and dislocated a rib while filming the movie.
