There's a lot going on, but one dynamic is of nature / reality / ecology (the 'feminine') being fundamentally dark and savagely amoral, and then something to do with masculine Will emerging from or within this.
It's a Dark Romanticism outlook, even potentially crypto-Fascist if you'd like it to be. One can definitely do a Nietzschean or Schopenhauerian reading.

I guarantee you he was. He's actively into those influences, especially German Romanticism. And even Fascist aesthetics.
Something about femininity being scary and or evil; OR, about the perception of society of it being that way.
About how the feminine has little control over their bodies that are subject of nature, which is merciless and wild.
In the end the logical and masculine had enough of that bullshit and chokes the hysterical bitch.
Everything in the movie is highly symbolic.
