Distortion In Macbeth

I decided to make a colored pencil drawing of a distorted image of the world because the nature of the whole play is about the motif, “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” (1.1.12). The deformation of reality motif influences characters and outcomes throughout the play, which is why “fair is foul, and foul is fair” is the main subject of the play and how the characters interact and the outcomes change with the deformation of reality .The wood from the Birnam trees moving with the troops towards Macbeth is a interpretation of the Witches apparition (4.1.105-107). Macbeth did not suspect a play on words when the witches told him the prophecy, but the word play leads to the loss of confidence Macbeth has and beginging to his downfall. In Act three
I chose to draw tree in both realities. The trees are opposite to each other and are paradoxes. While each reality has trees, one reality has a tree made up of wood planks and the other reality has a fence made up of trees. I chose to draw that because the fence is normally made up of wood planks and a tree is just a tree, but the inverse is an example of distortion of reality. Another part of the drawing is the skeleton children being happy, while the living are crying. Being dead is normally sad, but in the drawing the dead kids are happy because they don’t see their own fate and that they are dead. In the other reality the living children are sad. Living children are normally happy, but similarly like the other parts in the drawing everything is opposite, thus the children are sad. In another part of the painting the lake is brown and green, but full of life and plants, unusual because normally a brown and gross lake is dead and can not sustain life. In the other part of the drawing the blue perfect lake can not sustains life, even though it is blue and perfect for growing life. All of theses aspects in the drawing relate to scenes in the
I learned that the tragedy of Macbeth is more than the plot, but exploring how misconceptions affect people and outcomes. I learned that the witches used Macbeth’s misconceptions of their prophecies to mislead him into his whole journey of becoming king and loosing his power. The witches also impact Lady Macbeth because she also changes her persona to attempt to fit the witches prophecies. I also learned about artistic interpretations while making my drawing. Throughout reading Macbeth in class we watched videos of different scenes from different movies of Macbeth and talked about the different producers take on the play. While making my drawing and figuring out what I wanted to use to represent certain things I had to make sure that it would be understood by almost everyone and that there was a deeper meaning behind some of the pieces. Similarly to the book I learned that the best pieces of art have multiple interpretations and twist, which keep things interesting and diverse for
