Confusions
The juxtaposition of the intense purples in her hair and the paleness of her body with the surrounding, firey colors of the room suggest that this painting was and is a symbol of Munch's relationships with women. She is beautiful, but cold. Her face holds him, with its alluring warmness. He can not help but fall into the confusions of this environment, which pulled him in and began to gnaw. She will always be distant.
