Macbeth pictures

 This image brings out power, not through the image exactly; but the colour used. Due to it's dull, morbid colours it will reflect a negative trait to your brain's subconscious influencing your perception.



Due to the arms waving about, as if to go away, it shows that they ignore and loathe happiness; because the horse and knight represent good connotations.  


 These three witches are all pointing in unison at one direction, because of this it will emphasise the peculiarity of the situation, and characters.



 As previously said in the recent picture the witches are pointing in a particular direction, as well as this the visitors are keeping their distance; exaggerating the isolation of the hideous witches.



 In previous pictures the witches are perceived as strong characters, but for this they are showing a sign of weakness and vulnerability; however you could interpret this is them collaborating to complete a plan, or pretending to show weakness.  



The witches represent their power in this through covering the eyes of the victim, consequently giving victims and others a weakness; vulnerable to psychological abuse.

The image that best brings out the power of Macbeth's opening image, is the one above. This is due to three main points: 1. by covering their eyes, it shows someones vulnerability, 2. The witch in the background is looking behind you as if you the audience are in danger; and finally how the witch on the right is shouting into his ear, epitomising the absurdity of the scene.
