Milady seems to represent woman as devil; Constance, as angel. The devil kills the angel, and the gang of men kill the devil. Constance is a victim because she's weak, and Milady is a victim because she's strong.
I don't know what the takeaway is here, as both end up quite dead, but Milady seems to have more fun along the way.
