"Tis Pity She's a Whore

I think a good quote would be in act III, scene 2, line 28 when Giovanni says, “One such another word would kill his hopes.”  It seems to me that this play depends a lot on what each person says or does not say.  The statements that the character says reflect the hopes of love or the deception of the pregnancy or the murders. The colors for a poster could be blue and orange.  It could have a picture of a character, such as Giovanni, with a “bubble” above his head with the image of Anabella holding a baby.  The orange could be at the bottom of the poster and the blue as part of a “sky.”

A second quote could be in act II, scene 4, line 29.  Donado says, “Here’s stuff  indeed to shame us all.” With Annabella’s pregnancy as an embarrassment to her father and her husband, it seems appropriate that she would shame in her situation especially when they want the seamstress to make clothes to hide her condition.   For a poster idea, you could have a dark background with a yellow “door” partially opened and the silhouette of Anabella’s pregnant profile showing. It would be as if she is hiding from the shame of her situation.

A third quote could be in Act IV, scene 2, line 20.  Richardetto is speaking and he says, “All human worldly courses are uneven.”  This could encompass all the situations such as the pregnancy, the murders and the poisoning.  For a poster idea, you could have a black silhouette of Anabella’s stomach and inside her stomach could be a picture of the “box” of poison and a picture of a dead body.  The dead body could be just a silhouette in bright red. The box of poison could have a “skull and crossbones” on it to show it was poison.
