 Not with Them for the Money: Throughout the film, Leonora tries to create this narrative for herself. She was tried to find a rich man to take care of her, but truly fell in love with Ohlig. She tries to make herself feel morally right, but Ohlig sees through this façade and treats her like dirt.

 Murder by Inaction: Only just averted, since Smith doesn't die. But Leonora did let him be crushed under his pinball machine.

 GoldDigger: Leonora is a mild one as she convinces herself that she’s in love with Smith before marrying him. She actively tries to have a relationship with him, but he’s the one who refuses to see her as someone that he could love.
