One of the characters are blind and one of the characters are deaf so this shows disability.The title see no evil, hear no evil also connoted the disability and since there is pictures in the title of an eye and an ear also back this up.The facial expressions of the two show that they seem to be shocked but not in a serious way, this could connote that disabled people as shown not to take situations seriously so this also shows a different.The quotes the blind guy couldn't see it and the deaf guy couldn't hear it shows that disabled people are shown as to be more innocent due to their disability, this is shown from the word murder so their disability may be shown as their innocence.The fact that they killed a man shows that they are not the same in society since they are now murderers and since they are shown not to be aware of what they have done means that they do not know how society works.The dead person and them knowing that they may not have killed him could show that disabled people are shown as confused or dont know what to do most of the time.This poster may cause offence since the poster depicts that people that are blind or deaf are not in control of their actions and that they are not fit for society.
