Mise En Scene

In this scene I can see several different things that lead me to believe the woman in the foreground is cleaner of some variety. First on my list of reasons is what she is dressed in. It appears to be a jumpsuit, of an unknown color, which is commonly used by specific professions like cleaners, plumbers and general maintenance. The other thing that I see to make me believe shes a cleaner is the women sat in the chair through the door is making no attempt to acknowledge her and looks upper class compared to the woman in the foreground. 


In this photo what is evident to me is that the couple appear to be in an argument with each other. One thing that points me to this conclusion is the way they are staring at each other. The stare makes it evident that the couple are stressed at each other. The woman has appeared to taken to drinking most of the bottle of wine to help settle her nerves which in normal situations shows anxiety and stress. With the man its appears he was reading the newspaper at the start of the argument hence why its on the table in front of him. What I can see from this is that he might be attempting to find a job. Possibly to pay for the problem that needs fixing which  could be shown by the step ladder in the background.

For this particular picture I can see that she is love lorn and is staring at the place that either her lover was last at or someone very dear to her had passed away. This is evident to me by her expression and where she is staring. The bed is slightly disturbed and could be evidence for someone leaving during the night or that it hasn't been touched since the deceased was removed. Either of these reasons explain her expression and how she looks at it so I would like to believe that is correct.


This picture is certainly an interesting one as the simple choice for what I see is a she is a prostitute of some form. My reason for thinking this is because of how the man is dressed very professionally. He  likely has little time for relationships because of work and in those times a busy man would often turn to a prostitute in situations where they needed release.
