MISE-EN-SCENE: PARLOUR



One important feature of the mise-en-scene is the taxidermied animals, seen when Marian and Norman enter the Parlour. The darkness and the dull weather connotates the coldness and gloom of the Bates Motel. Furthermore, the taxidermy is a reflection on Normans personality. It's an unusual hobby to take up, and to do so with such animals takes skill and time showing that he has them both. This also suggests Norman to be a dark and dangerous man and is capable of more more dangerous activities, as he lures Marian into the Parlour, this suggests along with the gloomy weather that she will be in trouble.
