The color scheme that I would choose for Tis Pity She's a Whore is red and black. I think the red symbolizes the violence and lust and love. I think red should be the central color because lust. love and violence make up the play. Love is found in Annabella and Giovanni's relationship. Their love is forbidden. Lust is found in Annabella's relationship with all of her suitors. And violence is clearly shown when Giovanni stabs Annabella, although i think all three love, lust and violence can be seen in this scene. The black represents power. Some images I have chosen are a bare back of a women, a letter, fire and black blood drops.
These are the quotes I have chosen:
"Lost, I am Lost! My fates have doomed my death."
"O that it were not in religion sin
To make our love a god, and worship it!”
—Giovanni
“Revenge is all the ambition I aspire;
To that I’ll climb or fall. My blood’s on fire.”
—Soranzo
I completely agree that red should be the central color. It is a reflection of so many elements that exists in the play for example love and death. The black is interesting too because it is also a reflection of death but I imagine black representing power because power tends to blind people to the point where they only see themselves.
