Line 41:
* [[Morality Pet]]: Geum-Ja's daughter Jenny.
* [[Narrator All Along]]: {{spoiler|Geum-Ja's daughter, when she grew up.}}
* [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]]: In prison, Geum-Ja makes a reputation for being kind, helpful and friendly. Even when she {{spoiler|poisons the witch to death by putting detergent in her food}}, [[You Kill It, You Bought It|gaining her the nickname of "Witch"]], she's ''still'' referred to as "the kind one". Because [[Beware the Nice Ones|they aren't mutually exclusive]].
* [[Not Even Bothering With the Accent]]: Geum-Ja's daughter was raised in Australia. Her daughter doesn't say much but when she does speak, it's a North American accent. The actress was Korean-American.
* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]
* [[Out
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Not done on purpose in Geum-Ja's case.
* [[Prison Rape]]: This movie is one of the few that depict prison rape among women.
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: Invoked with the witch. When she murders and eats her husband and his lover, only a brief shot of her eating [[Mystery Meat]] is given; the scene where she rapes another inmate, however, [[Rape As Drama|is pretty darn graphic.]] {{spoiler|The main reason for this is to undoubtedly justify Geum-Ja killing her in a horrible fashion.}}
* [[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.
Line 55:
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: Baek's mementos are later given to the victims' relatives.
* [[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 It'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.}}
* [[Yubitsume]]
