== This [[Film]] provides examples of: ==
* [[Anti -Hero]]
* [[The Atoner]]
{{quote| Everyone makes mistakes. But if you committed a sin, you have to make an atonement for that sin. Atonement, do you know what that means? Big Atonement for big sins. Small Atonement for small sins.}}
Line 36:
* [[The Killer Becomes the Killed]]
* [[Mama Bear]]
* [[May -December Romance]]: Two of them. Both were one-sided in a way.
** The young guy that works with Geum-Ja is very attracted to her and even asks if he can call her "big sister" (a term of affection that can have different meanings). She shoots him down but later uses him to teach her daughter Korean since she was raised in Australia.
** Geum-Ja herself was infatuated with Mr. Baek when she was a teenager and had an affair with the much older man. She ended up getting pregnant from a different relationship (this time, a classmate) and asked Baek to help her take care of the child, which kicks off the plot. She considered the relationship much more seriously than Baek did.
Line 50:
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning|Red Eyeshadow Take Warning]]
* [[Revenge]]
* [[Kick the Dog|Shoot The Dog]]: Geum-Ja apparently tests herself to see if she has a killer instinct by {{spoiler|shooting her daughter's pet dog}}. This could elicit a [[Moral Event Horizon]] or a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] reaction from the audience.
* [[They Look Just Like Everyone Else]]
* [[To the Pain]]: Geum-Ja puts a microphone in the room where she and the parents are discussing how to kill Baek, and a speaker where he's being held.
Line 56:
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Geum-ja.
* [[Was It All a Lie]]: It turns out Geum-ja even pretended to like a lesbian ''simply to use her as a resource for revenge.''
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Heinous?]]: [[Played for Drama]]; Geum-ja, after failing to prevent Mr. Baek from suffocating a child, tracks down the child's parents and ''tries to cut off all her fingers for forgiveness.'' Granted, it's not akin to a white lie, but considering that a)there was absolutely nothing she could have done to stop it; and b) {{spoiler|her newborn daughter's life was at risk had she not taken the blame}}, you'd think she wouldn't blame herself as much.
* [[What You Are in The Dark]]
* [[You Kill It You Bought It]]: {{spoiler|Geum-ja kills the witch in a pretty nasty way, and promptly inherits her title. To a much more chilling extent, Baek keeps personal mementos from the children he murders and uses some of them as phone charms.}}
