Miller calls attention to Marv’s mental
stability with the medication he gets from Lucille, which she states he is ‘worse
without’(Miller, 1995: 37), by making the pills a striking orange colour as they are in real
life. This colour pops beside the monochrome and calls the audience’s focus,
causing them to look deeper into Marv’s psyche and come to the conclusion
Miller wants them to. Miller does this by including subtle hints in his
appearance –buzz cut, clothing- which hint to ex-army, and his superhuman abilities which all point towards PTSD, particularly in its
final stages; culminating with the appearance of
the pills.
