This painting represents Macbeth's character change as he chooses to kill Duncan. The darkness in the room is supposed to show how clouded Macbeth's thinking is, the normally morally bound man is now going to do one of the most treacherous acts possible. I decided to have Duncan facing down and asleep so that his face is in the pillow to exemplify the cowardice Macbeth took in his action, making sure that there was no way he could redeem himself. The light off to the right of the image is supposed to show a way out, and a way that doesn't have to be dark and death, he doesn't necessarily have to commit the murder.
