'Tis Pity She's A Whore

Responding to Dr. Fletcher's post on 'Tis Pity She's A Whore by John Ford 

For the first quote I have chosen for this advertisement is, "Leave her, and take thy choice; 'tis much less sin, though in such games as those, they lose that win." Act I scene I. Depicted in the poster I'd like to show a bright white rose with large thorns growing from it's stem. And from these thorns there will be small droplets of blood that spot and speckle the leaves and ground around it. In the background a warm rustic brown color that fades into black in an oval shape. This symbol of the rose will be the invitation of a sin, showing the purity of the white masked by the thorns that secret the sin of the play. 

For the second quote I chose, " He shall not 'scape you, I'll provide a poison to dip your rapier's point in." this particular point in the play showed me a lot of deceit and backstabbing qualities. I see this play as very dark and menacing. For the poster and this quote I'd show a dark crimson sky and ground with white trees playing out in the field. A building washed out in white in the background. In the center doorway a dark silhouette of a man and woman. The red of course a symbol of blood lust. The white depicts the white poison that keeps them there. 

For the third poster quote I chose, "To see the effect of pride and lust at once brought to shameful ends." Act V scene VI. The poster would show deep colors of blues and navys. I see grey fog almost like smoke on the poster that shows the quote in bright red. underneath the quote you would see a body draped in a grey cloth. This would be the end and death of the play.
