If you were to stage this novel as a play, how would you costume Desiree in order to show her as a member of the peasant village yet also an outsider, a dreamer who longs for something different? Would you show any connections to the God or the the rich and if so, how? Explain your answer.
If I were to stage the novel as a play, I would costume Desiree in a peasant's basic look. She would be in a grey shirt and pants and maybe a grey veil that covers her hair as a really simple peasant. However, the clothes should be really clean and tidy while other peasants' might be dirty and old. It showed that she was still different with those peasants with her dream see the city. Also, I might costume her with a yellow, bright flower on her head to separate her from the peasants. The peasants were ordinary and they care less about their out looking. Desiree was different that she did want to see the big cities and she had many different imaginations, so the flower on her head would represent her speciality.
Otherwise, for the rich and the Gods, I would dress them differently but both in fancy costumes. For the Gods, I would choose to let them in robes and dresses which people wore in medieval or early centuries. It's because they are the characters that based on myths, so they should wear ancient dress to show their difference. For the rich states, I would let them wear suit and be formal usually. It's because they are rich people in modern time and the should be in proper dress as "rich" in their identity. Suit and ancient clothes are both fancy and formal in some way but totally different due to the time line, so that they are proper clothes for rich people and the Gods.
