Chocolate of Romance: Inverted and subverted. Despite owning a chocolate company, Mika is far from being a romantic woman and her marriage lacks any real passion. She often makes hot chocolate for her stepson Guillaume, which could qualify as familial love until Jeanne finds out she's using the chocolate to drug him.

Alas, Poor Villain: By the end, Mika knows she will brought to justice for poisoning Lisbeth but it's clear that she's a very mentally ill person. The film closes on her silently breaking down as Andr&eacute plays a funeral march at the piano.

Ambiguous Disorder: What exactly is Mika's problem? She shows a pervasive apathy and a feeling of never belonging anywhere, fears abandonment but is unable to show true love to her family. At the same time, she lacks any true sociopathic or sadistic trait, deriving no pleasure from her misdeeds.
