Metaphor

The image above, an image of Zeus -Greek God, is the metaphor I have chosen for the play. 
As I have said in my initial impressions, I envision white space with a hint of white smoke floating about. This image embodies a part of that initial vision, and more. Zeus represents the characters in the play. His facial expression, strong stance with a lengthened back, head held high and tensed muscles commands power, just like both of the characters' refusal in demeaning their family pride to flatter the other, thus commanding power and respect from one another. The whiteness of the color scheme in this picture tones down the strength held in Zeus's body language and eyes, giving the picture a certain sense of serenity -an air of calmness. The lightning bolt in Zeus's hand symbolizes the tenseness of the mood in the play.
