Seven

 

His mother was a prostitute


John's father was a wealthy man who was married with a family 

John's mother was a whore who died from a disease she caught

 John never has the chance for a wife and family and envies that in David

 It is a reminder what his father had and took for granted 

His father was greed, greedy for money for sex 

It is easier for a camel to pass though the eye of a needle that for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, 

Jesus tells us John's father is suffering in hell


Like David has, and like John's father had and took for granted


John was maybe always Envy and came to realise that fully through his Envy of David, a life he could never have 

He takes David's life away and allows him to do the same to him with his Wrath 

John probably believed he was going to Hell, having visited each sin upon the sinner and their murders as well as his suicide, as it was 

He believes he is going down to whatever Circle of Hell he belongs in, those of you who have read Dante may have your interpretation of what John took from that, what he expected 

Like the killer Jeremy in Hideaway, film based on the Dean Koontz book, who commits a murder suicide, asks Satan to take his soul, the goes on the journey ending up in the Lake Of Fire 

John no doubt believes in the Hell he is going to 

David now faces Hell on Earth, the optimistic future with his wife, and the child he just found out about, taken away by John, and the murder he committed means he faces a long jail term, possibly Life, and that as an ex cop


Though Apathy is not a Deadly Sin in the list of Seven, it is presented here as such 

Apathy is what allows the other sins to happen 

For evil men to do evil they just need good men to do nothing 

The club owner has allowed the Lust crime to happen due to his Apathy 

Somerset is aware of his own rising Apathy and plans to retire and move away 

At the end he overcomes his Apathy, the only character to survive and find redemption


In Fight Club, Fincher's next film with Brad Pitt, the Father conversation between Tyler and Jack echoes this
