What caught my eye was the way in which some of the characters were dressed. It was interesting to see Hermia still wearing a greek - styled dress - that goes down only past her waist. I also thought it as interesting how Helena was dressed in the same type of a Shakespearian - modernistic style, but a little more hoish if you will. This particular style for these two girls actually set the stage and tone of this story. Hermia symbolizes the angelic girl (beautiful, shor white dress) and Helena represents the more promiscuous sister (boy crazy - those old fashion panty hoes?)
Of course, i rather noticed that most of the male characters in this story had more of an emo/scene kid type of style. Also, a lot of the males appeared to possibly be wearing eyeliner - which is another cliche towards the scene kids. In sense this style of dress kind of depicts the over dramatized manner of this play. It is all kind of over the top in my book.
By the by: I am looking off of page 34 - different panels do a swell job in showing off the Shakespearian fashion
