The first time that we see Kay, after Apollonia dies, there is a ruined car right next to her. This is after Apollonia's extreme incident with the car wreck and this is definitely an example of foreshadowing Death or at least danger. Kay's outfits again represent her ability to connect with the family, after she meets with Michael after his escapade to Sicily, she constantly wears blue or earthy tones, rather than the previously reoccurent colour red. Kay's specific motif of clothing as a foreshadowing feature is interesting because it fits the cliche that men believe women are.
Clothing is a common representation of women, and in The Godfather clothing is represented as a foreshadow tool. As Michael's women appear, we begin to see how their outfits reflect different stages in the film. Colours and definitions follow:
- Red:(Seductive, Blood, Love, War, Danger)
- Scarlet (Lilith the Original Scarlet Woman, divine power)
- Brown (Neutral, natural, Earth, Wood)
- White:(Purity, cleanliness, innocence) East: colour of mourning and funerals)
- Blue: (Friendly, strong, steadfast,Pantone has selected the color Blue Iris (PANTONE 18-3943) as the 2008 Color of the Year telling us: "Combining the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple, Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement."
