Arc Symbol | |
| 3 Women / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: Water. Many times during the movie, the viewpoint is seen through water (a fish tank, for instance), giving a sense that things happen under water. Three swimming pools (two full, one empty) also play along here - with Willie's paintings visible in two of them. Being "under water" is often a symbol of the subconscious, tying into the "dream" interpretation at the end of the movie. There is also the pool in the spa, where Pinky goes completely under water in an early scene. Possibly one swimming pool per woman in the movie. | |

Birds of a Feather | |
| 3 Women / int_275d19ee | comment |
Birds of a Feather: Pinky and Millie, although it takes some time to notice. Both of them are Texans, and both are baptized "Mildred" and have changed it in different ways. It is also implied that Millie, in spite of her wordly appearance, is more lonely than she seems to be at first. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| 3 Women / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: According to Word of God the ending is meant to be ambiguous and open to interpretation. However, Altman's personal opinion was that Edgar was buried under the pile of spare tires shown in the final shot of the film. | |

Bungled Suicide | |
| 3 Women / int_72e1bd14 | comment |
Bungled Suicide: In a kneejerk reaction, after been given a "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Millie, Pinky attempts suicide by jumping off from a banister into the pool. Willie finds her floating unconsciously in the pool and alarms neighbors who rescue her. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| 3 Women / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: The last scene poses more questions than it answers. One theory is that the three women finally settle into a new family unit that seems to give each woman what she was searching for. | |

The Hecate Sisters | |
| 3 Women / int_9c209a57 | comment |
The Hecate Sisters: More and more prominent and played utterly straight at the end of the film. Willie is the crone, having taken up the role of grandmother. Millie is the mother, a trait she grows into gradually over the last part of the film, and Pinky is, of course, the maiden. | |
