The lady on the horse signifies that she sending a message or going to save someone or she could be escaping. The posture was intended to draw this because the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) wanted the audience to come and watch this play so this creates tension towards the audience. It also shows a man on the top looks as if tough. His finger pointing could also signify that he is ordering someone to do something and the clothier’s signifies could be a man from the play. The clear sky with the sun a t the corner this could signifiers the Japanese flag. This poster also could be against racism because the Europeans are draw to look nice and the Japanese draw to look horrifying and evil. The two people at the bottom making love enlarge this because these are the main character in the play. The Japanese people are drawn this way because to catch audience attention or to producer of this poster set it at like that to racist.
