Pride And Prejudice Essay

I choose to design for the Underworld scenes because I knew I could use something beside the classic poodle skirt silhouette of the era. I also realized that the majority of the play takes place in the Underworld, all while Eurydice would be wearing one outfit. I felt that throughout these scenes Eurydice is in a way mourning all of the things she is forgetting, and every time she forgets something water is present. So using all of these observations I came to the conclusion that my main color would be a shade of blue. I eventually decided on Navy Blue because I kept the idea of mourning in mind.

For shoes he is wears a pair of black loafers and black socks to keep the professional look
