* SymbolicSymbolicSubmersion: After Harry has finished lying to the Spoons about Willa's apparent running away, the scene cuts abruptly to a long shot of Willa's body submerged in the water, her hair floating like the seaweed, after Harry has killed her. Since she allowed him to kill her, this reflects her passivity.

* MenAreBetterThanWomen: Harry is evil, but he's extremely cunning and intelligent. John's father is a noble bank robber, and instinctively knows that he can only trust John with the information about where the money is hidden. Willa is a dope who sides with her new husband over her children, and Pearl (although only a child) is giggly and seems to have no grasp on circumstances. Icey Spoon is convinced that the right thing to do is for Willa to marry Harry.



* NeverARunaway: After Harry kills Willa, he lies to the townsfolk (the Spoons particularly) that she has run away and left him a note.
