Macbeth+Project+-+Sydney+J+-+Costume

I designed my Lady Macbeth costume with pink because it is a very feminine color. Lady Macbeth tried to act very feminine to cover up the face that she had developed a large amount of masculinity through her ambition. I made the underlayer black because it shows how she was disquised on the outside as an innocent woman, but had a dark, evil mind. I put some red on the 1606 dress because it represents the bloody mess she caused, and how many people were killed because of her original idea to kill Duncan. The modern dress is feminine because it is more slim fitting and has lace on the arms and waist. It also is pink on the outside and black on the underlayer.



I designed my Macbeth costume with mostly red because it represents his bloody, out-to-kill mindstate. His pants are white because he started out as a pure, moral man. The underlayer of his clothes are also black, since he also tried to disguise himself as innocent. He progressively got more and more evil, and that's why the top is red and black. The middle section on the top is also white on the inside because it shows he is still pure and moral deep down, and he wasn't always evil. The modern version of Macbeth's costume does not have white just because men don't usually wear that white of pants now-a-days. The red also indicates his bloody mindstate, and the black is more present in the modern costume because it's harder to mask evil and murder in this time period.
