that particular scene symbolized the duality of Nicole’s personality. Initiated by Nick’s alleged assault, Mrs. Diver’s mental illness reappears. Rather than a cheerful wife and mother, who enjoys the life, she became a depressed woman, who needs help.
Another time, when the color of Nicole’s clothing symbolizes sort of a contradiction, is in the scene at the beach on the Riviera: “The Divers went out to the beach with her white suit and his white trunks very white against the color of their bodies” . The fact that both of them wore white (usually associated with purity and innocence) swimming garments connotes an absurdity of some sort. At this time Divers went through marriage crisis, both of them having (or thinking of) an affair.
