Representation in Psycho

In the opening sequence of Psycho we are shown an Innocent looking blonde woman, From Hitchcock's representations this would indicate her hair colour to make her look innocent and virginal. She is wearing white which is another indication that she is an innocent person. This is soon contradicted when she says to the man she is with "Should you not be getting back to your wife?". She knows that he has a wife but she is still with him during her lunch break.

When driving it is raining very heavily this indicates something bad is going to happen or is happening. Our thoughts of something bad happening are confirmed when a big spooky house appears on the horizon. The thoughts of badess as soon soon frozen. When the manager of the hotel is friendly and pleasent looking.She find out that he is not all that he made out to be when we see him looking through a peep hole of her in the shower.

She is murdered in the shower of wha we think to a be an old woman becuase she is wearing a skirt and shall. At the end of the film we find out that she is not infact a woman but a man dressed up as a woman.
