 * This image of the witches is in the center of the collage as the prophecy of the witches dictated the events that ensued. The image is surrounded by a glow as the weird sisters have a creepy, magical air about them.
 * The image of Lady Macbeth represents her ambition throughout the play, as she is the driver of Macbeth's decision to murder Duncan and ultimately spark the central conflict. The Scottish flag is behind her as she becomes Queen of Scotland, yet it remains behind her and she continues to promote her own self-interests before the interests of the country.
 * The image of Lady Macbeth cleansing the blood off her hand in the foreground is a literal representation of the moment in the play when she goes slightly insane and discusses the blood on her hands, yet is figuratively representative of her and Macbeth's relationship - Macbeth remains in the background and in black and white because although he was the King and carried out the actions to kill Duncan, Lady Macbeth remained the motivator behind his actions.
 * The dagger represents the motif of stabbing (and therefore blood) throughout the play, as the characters were all murdered through being stabbed and the correlating blood played an important role throughout the course of the play, during the stabbing scenes and even when nobody was directly being murdered.
 * The image of Macbeth in the upper right corner portrays him with an unhappy demeanor, emulating his unhappiness and guilt that occurred as a result of his murdering Duncan. He is placed with Lady Macbeth gazing up at him, which is emulative of her control over him as she utilized Macbeth as a vehicle for her success frequently throughout the play (ie, him killing Duncan and becoming King benefits her).
 * The Scottish Crown is placed in the center of the collage as it is the ultimate motivation for the events that transpired. Duncan was murdered in order to ensure the Macbeths gained the crown, which followed the Weird Sister's prophecy pertaining to the succession order. Although the events that followed Duncan's murder weren't directly for the purpose of achieving royal status, the stimulator of the event that triggered these was the thirst for the crown.
 * The handprints that are placed throughout the collage directly tie back to Lady Macbeth's moment when she's discussing the blood on her hand, but also portray the concept of guilt that was seen throughout the play. Lady Macbeth was consumed by guilt during her scene with the Doctor and gentlewoman, and Macbeth was seemed to be devastated by his actions directly after murdering Duncan. In addition to that, the concept manifests itself in more minor situation, such as Duncan's sons fleeing the castle after his death -- they were accused of fleeing due to guilt, diverting the attention away from Macbeth and preventing his immediate suspect.
 * Lady Macbeth reading the letter ties back to her scene in which she reads the letter and presents a monologue; this event is important as it is the scene in which Lady Macbeth's motivation for the murder (and thus her pressure on Macbeth) is spurred.
 * The image of the murderer killing Banquo was chosen because it represents the theme of blood and illustrates how the events of Duncan's murdered spiraled from the specific moment and ended up consuming everybody, regardless of their involvement.
