I think it went along with his propensity towards reacting angrily and violently throughout the entire movie.

I mean shite, just look at his reaction about 10 seconds after opening Dante's Inferno.


His aggression throughout the movie comes from his internal struggle with wrath.

Once he accepts his fate, whether he considers it successful or failure on his part, his personality should change. He should be calm and calculating in that moment.

I should be a director

I don't think so. Somerset even comments earlier in the movie "It's impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions". It was expected for Mills to react poorly to seeing his wife's head in a box. I'm surprised he didn't shoot himself too.

He wasn't struggling the entire movie with wrath. It was in the instance that he saw his wife's head in a box and shot John Doe when he committed the sin of Wrath. Mills "becomes" wrath at the end as John Doe explains.
