1. At the beginning of act 3 scene two Juliet would be wearing a short white dress. The dress would be short because it would show her readiness to sleep with Romeo. But it would be white to show she is innocent and unaware of what she got into with the marriage. And she'd wear the dress as the nurse tells her of tybalts death, explaining that she is again still so inn innocent and forgiving. After she here's the news Juliet would change into a red night gown to represent tybalt's death and her still exiting desire for Romeo.
ReplyDelete2. Her desperation would be presented with somber colored clothing, such as a gray dress. This should show her disappointment.
1-A white dress to show her happiness and then a dark one as mourning habit.
ReplyDelete2-The fact that she is not dressed up as good as she used to shows that it isn't her major problem.
