I have watched Se7en and followed Gluttony, Greed, Sloth and Lust. But I couldn't place the events of the other sins: Envy, Wrath and Pride.

And also is the scene in which the head of a woman (detective's wife?) is brought, connected to any of these scenes in some way?

Please provide some light on these. I am really confused.

Envy is killing the wife of the policeman. Wrath is the policeman killing the murderer. I can't remember pride, I should rewatch it to spot it. But the point of the movie was, that the killer used the detective to complete the series.

EDIT: Before finding time to watch the movie, I looked up Wikipedia and found:

Some time later, they investigate the death of a young model whose face had been mutilated. Having chosen to kill herself rather than live with a disfigured face, she is the victim of "Pride".

Thanks a lot! The "..that the killer used the detective to complete the series" helped to clear up a lot. But why did the murderer feel Envy towards the policeman's wife? – Roshnal Dec 6 '11 at 9:26
Thanks again! I checked Wikipedia and found this for my other question (why the Envy towards Tracy?): "...Doe claims to represent the sin of "Envy"; he was jealous of Mills' normal life, and killed Tracy after failing to "play husband" with her..." – Roshnal Dec 6 '11 at 9:41
