Collage+Mitchell



The collage represents a few themes that I thought were important in the play. The first one is something that I felt exemplified cowardice and cruelty. The knife in the back is something that I think shows an inability to face head on, and instead has to be taken care of without risk of being attacked back, and the cruelty of it is shown by Macbeth murdering his friend. Which draws me to the next picture, of the man with the rose, and shadow with a gun. This shows how friends may be foes, and how you must be weary of true intentions. Fair is foul and foul is fair, although he looks friendly at first glance, further investigation would result in Macbeth being uncovered. The next image is a bloody sword, and I felt the themes of murder and violence had to be incorporated as it is shown throughout the entire story. The picture of the crown represents the struggle, and how in the end everything ties back to it. The image of the dragons represents a conflict between good and evil. Macduff would represent the blue side, righteous and fighting a power that already held significant ground over him, while the red represents Macbeth fighting to keep his higher ranking. This good vs evil theme is something that shows the relationship between these two characters. The greed of Macbeth drove him to attack Duncan and rip away the crown, while the crown drove Macduff to enact against Macbeth and restore it to its rightful owner.
