Lorraine,
the person caught in the infidelity, is also the person indignant about the
actions of Adam in the situation. I believe that this is because Lorraine is a
very complex symbol, alternating between representing Diane in her guilt and
representing Diane's mother figure in her indignation. Her blonde hair is longer
than Diane's and so, although I believe that a relationship to Diane is being
indicated, Lorraine is not like other blonde doppelgangers in the film who have
short blonde hair. The longer hair is probably indicative of greater age, like
the mother figure. And I believe that there is more color symbolism
involved. For those who believe that the scene with Lorraine and the poolman is a reenactment of Diane’s childhood abuse, it is very interesting to notice that the next line Betty says is "Let’s hide it". This adds to the perception that the whole middle of the movie is one prolonged scene revealing Diane’s troubled past, although superficially we see scenes that shift between different characters. This complex scene develops because the Rita and Betty characters are interacting in Ruth’s apartment, their synergy is bringing out what can not be hidden. - (romdal) Trivia Coincidence? - Note the similarity:
