In Class Writing 4.2
Question:
If you to stage this novel as a play? How would you costume Desiree as a peasant village member but also as an outsider or a dreamer? Connections with other characters?
Although Desiree was spoiled, as a peasant, her living condition will not be too much better than her adopted parents. She will wear similar clothes: old, over-washed, or partly damaged perhaps. She would also go barefoot. However, as she is always dreaming about a car picking her up for a better life, she would wear clothes with more vivid colors. She will not satisfied with the original brown color, she will pick clothes with blue, red, or green patterns. She might even try to dye them herself. And in this extend, the colors are under the ability of family's expenditure. Thus I think she will have clothes that are more colorful than the others, although the clothing might be poor in material.
After learning more about the Daughter of the Sea, I wanted Desiree to be a boy/man. Or maybe change the name to Desire than.
For the little Desire's costume, it would be a unisex onesies or even a dress. It is not very towering or awkward for a boy dressing like a girl or a girl dressing like a boy when they were young. The villagers might like it even. To show the connections, the dress will be simple and as a mini version of Mama Euralie's clothes. Because she might just give her cloth from her child age to Desire. Tonton Julian's cloth were also unisex when he was a child, but it was redesigned to show the masculinity when he grew older.
Desire's cloths might also have more blue tone to show the connection of him with Agwe.
The rich will have more modern cloths. They could be like the cloths from middle class and above. There must be income differences between the "rich." It is just that the peasants would not understand.
