https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v In this Padlet I'd like you to explore your reaction to, and the author's creation of, the characters in the play. Your task is to pick a character and you must complete the Colour and Symbols routine to show an interpretive understanding of their creation. You must: 1. pick a colour that you think defines the character's personality. EXPLAIN why you made this choice and support your choice with discussion and evidence from the text. 2. Draw a symbol for that character (it must not already exist in the text) and also EXPLAIN why you think that symbol is representative of the character (using references to the text). In both of these examples you should be able to link character actions to personality and temperament to show an understanding of character progression. en-us 2019-05-06 10:08:16 UTC 2023-01-28 06:56:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F2620.png https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361007497 Garcin - dirty yellow

Yellow is a bright and vibrant color which often symbolizes joy and positivity. This is somewhat true relating to Garcin as his name means "boy" in French and he was a pacifist journalist. However, yellow also symbolizes cowardice which also applies to Garcin who deserted when he was conscripted into the Brazilian army.

Dirty yellow carries with it a vibe of sickness. It is the color of vomit and pus. Garcin fits this description as his actions, such as heavily abusing his wife and cheating right in front of her, were disgusting.]]> 2019-05-16 23:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361007497 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008556 Garcin - I think the colour that represents him a very dark yellow. This is because while yellow by itself is a vibrant and bright colour, having it darkened would bring it down to a colour of dirt. I feel this colour fits Garcin well because he has two sides to him. His good cause for Pacifism, which could be represented by yellow, was darkened by his other actions, such as being extremely abusive to woman, as well as his cowardly and irresponsible attitude towards life.]]> 2019-05-16 23:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008556 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008664 The colour I would choose for Garcin is ochre. The yellow tone represents his deceitful and untrustworthy nature towards his wife as he has affairs with other women. The brownish-yellow colour of ochre symbolises his cowardice in life, such as when he attempts to flee conscription. Another instance is when Garcin tries to sit in the corner of the hotel room and not discuss his sins with everyone in cowardice.]]> 2019-05-16 23:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008664 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008849 Estelle - Fuchsia
This colour is an intense, purplish-pink colour, and I think it represents Estelle's selfishness and passion. Purple is associated with power, ambition and self-importance. On page 28, Estelle says, "it pleased him no end, having a daughter. It didn't please me!" This quote is an example of Estelle's selfishness. First of all, she has an affair outside of her marriage, disregarding her husband's feelings. Then when she becomes pregnant and has her baby, she does not even consider giving her unwanted child to the father, but instead drowns her, even though the father seems to have been willing to care for the child. ]]> 2019-05-16 23:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361008849 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009138 Estelle - Violet
I chose violet as a colour to represent Estelle for a few reasons. Firstly, violet is a light shade of purple, representing her gentleness and delicacy. It also demonstrates how she is shallow as violet does not have a depth similar to a brighter colour. Estelle is a shallow person as she married a person only for their wealth as she was "terribly poor" and so married someone who "was old enough to be (her) father." Purple is also a royal colour and this shows how Estelle is self-obsessed and thinks very highly of herself. Violet is also a complex colour and is made up of blue and red which demonstrates Estelle's conmplexity of her mind and her life. Her life is complicated because of her affair and her child. Her mind is complicated as she cannot accept that she is dead and forces Inez and Garcin to refer to them as "absent". The red also represents her emotional side and how she "brought a big stone," and "saw the rings spreading on the water."]]> 2019-05-16 23:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009138 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009182 Garcin
Colour: Olive green

I think olive green represents Garcin because it is a colour that can be easily found in nature. This shows that Garcin's cowardice was natural. However, this colour can also be described as murky and unpleasant , which portrays how Garcin treated his wife miserably, thus showing the appalling side of his personality. ]]> 2019-05-16 23:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009182 chocolatelover25 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009236 Estelle - Colour
I think I would choose a light pink to represent Estelle. Pink is a light, gentle colour and is often thought to be a delicate colour. Despite this, pink is a complex colour made up of two other colours - red and white. Estelle too is complex as she seems like a decent woman, but in reality she is a murderer. Red is a colour that represents war, danger and fire, as well as anger, all of the negative emotions/things, although pink is mostly made up of white.  Estelle also has her "red" parts, such as the part that made her cheat on her husband, and kill her child. 
When Estelle walks into the room, she speaks as if she is a civilised woman, referring to Garcin and Inez as "this gentleman, this lady," and pretending to be a decent lady. But as the play progresses, we come to find out that she is not a very nice person and is selfish and only concerned about herself. ]]> 2019-05-16 23:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009236 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009546 Estelle - Colour - Deep Purple
I chose deep purple to represent Estelle because it is the colour known to be associated with the wealthy or royalty, something that Estelle spent much of her time idolising. From marrying a man "old enough to be [her] father" just because he was "very well off", to bragging about all the well to do people she knew on earth to Inez, such as the "Dubois-Seymours", this royal undertone never stops. However, purple is made up of two colours, blue and red. Blue, being Estelle's exterior, is representative of what she wants people to see of her on the outside, as it is often seen as an open, holistic colour. The red however, is representative of Estelle on the inside. Red is commonly associated with passion and determination, both of which Estelle has a lot of. However, it is also the colour of blood, something which Estelle has a lot of on her hands, what with not wanting a baby, but the "baby came, worst luck" so she "brought a big stone" and threw the baby off the balcony, Roger "saw it all" "the rings spreading on the water".]]> 2019-05-16 23:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009546 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009646 2019-05-16 23:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009646 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009671 Inez
Colour - Blend of BlackPink
Pink is a feminine colour and I have used this to represent the feminine side of Inez as well as her homosexual side. 
Black is a colour of sophistication and nefariousness. Inez seems to detest the only males, in general, greatly, "I don't care much for men anyway".  She starts complaining about Garcin's mouth mere moments after finally settling down and becoming quiet: "Can't you keep your mouth still? You keep twisting it around all the time. It's grotesque." She tried to seduce Estelle and even resorted to insulting and denouncing Garcin in order to make Estelle hers - "[ironically] - a hero!" She is intelligent proves so many times through her analysis of the situation, "we are criminals, murderers, all three of us," "each of us will act as torturer of the two others."  

Like the picture below but imagine a ratio of 7:3...]]> 2019-05-16 23:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009671 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009707 Estelle
Symbol - A shallow puddle
Because, on the surface it can be shiny and reflective, seemingly pretty, but that only narrowly hides the mud underneath it. The slightest touch can also cause large ripples throughout it. It represents her temperamental and flighty nature, evident in her actions in killing her child and quick mood changes, from denying to talking about her misdeeds, then crying over it. There is also the matter of her physical beauty, which does nothing to detract from her pettiness and cruelty, presented in the form of the silt below the surface of the puddle. The actual size of the puddle is also a reference to her shallow nature.]]> 2019-05-16 23:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009707 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009802 Colour - 
I think that this colour represents Garcin because it is a charismatic, appealing colour but it is dark and the longer you look at it the worse it gets. This represents the rising tension between the characters.  Green also represents jealousy which shows the lust after many women that Garcin feels in life and death.]]> 2019-05-16 23:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009802 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361009949 Estelle-I would give Estelle a blackish pink colour as pink symbolizes romance and love which is shown as some of Estelle's characteristics but it would dark because black represents anger and evil which is also one her characteristics as she drowned her baby after having an affair with someone else.

I chose wine red to represent Estelle,  because it represents the dark secrets she tries to hide. While on the surface it appears to be just a colour, maybe representative of passion, it is really a complex and colour with not-so-subtle dark undertones. While Estelle is shallow, she is also hiding secrets deep beneath the surface, behind her facade. The colour can also represent blood and danger which also lurks behind her facade as she threw her baby off a bridge without a second thought.]]> 2019-05-16 23:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010471 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010586 2019-05-16 23:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010586 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010648 2019-05-16 23:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010648 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010758 Inez - I believe Inez would be this shade of green/yellow. She very much wants to be someone she can't be, and uses the people around her to do that. This colour is as close to a pale yellow as you can get with it still being green. Inez has a greed that causes her to manipulate the people around her to her own gain, such as with her cousins wife. As green is the colour of envy and yellow is the colour of happiness, I think representing Inez as envy on the brink of happiness is quite appropriate. Especially since that colour is still quite ugly and shallow, without much saturation.]]> 2019-05-16 23:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010758 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010804 Garcin- 
I would pick a dirty yellow. When yellow is bright and pure, it represents positivity and happiness, due to it's connection to sunshine. However, this has been tainted, representing the cowardice and immorality that characterises Garcin's reality. A demonstration of Garcin having an affair in front of his wife, shown when he says that "I brought a half-caste girl to stay in our house. My wife slept upstairs; she must have heard—everything."  
  ]]> 2019-05-16 23:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010804 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010841 I chose a murky yellow colour in order to symbolise Estelle. Yellow represents joy, hope, happiness  but it also has conflicting associations. On one hand yellow stands for freshness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy, but on the other, it represents cowardice and a deceiving personalities.
I think that Estelle  is very bright on the outside and tries to display herself as a delicate lady. On the inside,  Estelle knows that she has always been a coward, as she drowned her baby by throwing it off a balcony into a lake. 

"There was a balcony overlooking the lake. I brought a big stone. He could see what I was up to and he kept on shouting" and then the man who wasn't the father of her baby "was leaning over the balcony and he saw the rings spreading on the water". This means that he witnessed the killing. Estelle even admits how she feels "ESTELLE. I'm a coward. A coward!"]]> 2019-05-16 23:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361010841 tristan_rollond https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361011938 Inez - Shrapnel
I believe Inez is well represented by a piece of shrapnel as it isn't as loud as other more destructive weapons, but is the leading cause of death and can be slow moving and an extended period of pain. This reflects how Inez manipulates and damages people's lives slowly and without them realising it, but isn't as aggressive and obvious and the regular home-wrecker.]]> 2019-05-16 23:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361011938 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361012439 A symbol I believe represents Estelle is a tinted glass window. While at first glance, you may not see through it, and it seems to be a smooth, faultless piece of glass, you don't have to look at it very hard before you begin to see through it. I think this represents Estelle's facade, because while she tries to put up the front of being perfect and not having any idea why she is in hell, it doesn't take long for the other characters to see through this to her shallow and selfish personality. ]]> 2019-05-16 23:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361012439 jas_esvelt https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361012599 The symbol I would choose to represent Estelle would be a mirror. This is because Estelle is never prepared to inspect or reflect on her own qualities or mistakes, and instead diverts to those of others to take the attention off of herself. For example, when asked, on page 27, if Roger shot himself on her account, she shouts 'Leave me alone! It's- It's not fair, bullying me like that. I want to go! I want to go.' Here, when asked about her own life and the part she may have played in it, Estelle calls Garcin and Inez 'bullies' and flips the conversation onto their behaviour to escape any introspection. In this respect, like a mirror, she  looks outward, rather than inward.

I chose a pink rose to symbolize Garcin. A pink rose is symbolic of infatuation. Infatuation is usually unjust and is usually labelled as affairs. Garcin's life was surrounding constant infatuation, even in hell. Jean-Paul Satre wrote, 'grasping her shoulders' and 'stinking of wine and women'. He clearly puts out Garcin's main interests as being surrounded with infatuation and therefore the pink rose sums him up perfectly.]]> 2019-05-16 23:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013443 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013599 Estelle - Balloon
I believe that a balloon is an appropriate symbol for Estelle. Balloons looks beautiful on the outside and are always colourful but inside their is nothing except air. This represents Estelle as she is beautiful on the outside and makes people happy such as her husband and the man that she had an affair with but on the inside she is shallow and does not have a deep personality. This is because she was "terribly poor and when an old friend of (her) people asked (her) to marry him (she) said yes. He was very well off." This shows that she married only for wealth which is a shallow trait.]]> 2019-05-16 23:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013599 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013664 Colour - Yellow Green
Green is generally a colour associated with money which Estelle has in abundance, and this particular shade usually indicates jealously, sickness and discord. Sickness is what kills Estelle and how she  acts as a part of other people's lives, like her lover, who eventually killed himself from the grief her actions caused him. She also causes discord, in the hotel room, between Garcin and Inez. Jealously is evident from when she 'looks' back into the living world and sees her friend, Peter with another woman. She claims that he 'belongs' to her.

Garcin shows these qualities whilst treating his wife and while in his affairs. Garcin says he came back most nights, ' blind drunk, stinking of wine and women'. Garcin couldn't handle his lust and he knew it. He also knew about the dominance he pressed against his wife, he described his wife's reaction to him coming back everyday as being a 'victim'.]]> 2019-05-16 23:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013728 joey_holmes https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361013779 Estelle - a stained purple robe.  

I thought this symbol represents Estelle well as she thinks and believes that she is higher than everyone else in the room, but at the same time has a level of evil around her, which is why she is in hell. The colour purple in the robe represents upper class, and how she believes she is, but then again the stain on the robe shows that she is not pure in her thoughts and in her actions. A murderer, a baby killer and a liar, she is not a good person overall.

The symbol I chose for Estelle is a mask made of glass. I chose this because as seen in the text, Estelle always tries to deny the reason she is in "hell" with the other two, thus using the mask to hide her true self. When asked about what she has done, she simply replies, "I haven't a notion, not the foggiest idea". She tries to hide the real reason as to why she is where she is, she tries to put on a mask in order to conceal herself. This doesn't work as the other two are able to discern that Estelle is lying, and coax out the truth. This is why I decided to make the mask out of glass - it's pretty fragile and can break easily, just like Estelle's fake identity. Estelle wasn't able to keep up the act of not knowing why she was in "hell", and a glass mask breaking represents this. (The green in the photo doesn't represent anything, I couldn't find any other glass masks)]]> 2019-05-16 23:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361014137 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361014251  The colour I would choose for Estelle is rouge, because it is a very strong and passionate shade of red. Although it represents blood and danger, which shows the evil side of her, since she murdered her child, shades of red can also display a sense of overconfidence and impulse. Also, her dramatic nature and vanity is represented when she says "Oh dear! My lipstick! I'm sure I've put it on all crooked.", which is strange, because although she is in "hell" and has died, she is still concerned about how she looks. Rouge also represents sexuality and passion, which is shown by her equation with Garcin, in order to make Inez feel uncomfortable, which makes her even more "fake", and sadistic.]]> 2019-05-16 23:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361014251 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361014275 Estelle - Symbol - Peacock
I chose a peacock to represent Estelle because their exterior, just like Estelle's, is beautiful, and can put on a show for any onlookers. However, on the inside peacock are shallow and vicious creatures that will not stop until they get what they want. This is shows by Estelle, as on the inside she is shallow and vicious, from chucking her baby off a balcony into a river, to marrying just for wealth. All in all, Estelle is not a good person, just like peacocks, are not good birds, even though they both look good.]]> 2019-05-16 23:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361014275 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015345 Garcin - symbol - bee
I have chosen a bee for Garcin because of his actions before he ended up in 'hell'. At first, Garcin said that he was a "journalist and man of letters by profession". His occupation before he went to 'hell' seems ordinary and pacifist, much like a bee's life as it collects pollen to help its hive. Later on in the text, we discover that Garcin was abusing his wife by having affairs right in front of her; this is like the sting of a bee. Soon after a bee stings, it dies, and after Garcin cheated on his wife he died and went to 'hell'.]]> 2019-05-17 00:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015345 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015521 The Symbol I would choose for Garcin would be a turtle. This is because turtles often hide themselves in their shell. The same could be said about Garcin, who persistently evade the responsibilities in life. For example, Garcin uses his pacifist beliefs as the "shell" for his cowardice and shying away from fighting in the war. Therefore, I think that a turtle would symbolise Garcin well, as he evades his responsibilities and duties with excuses, symbolised by the shell.]]> 2019-05-17 00:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015521 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015530 The symbol for Estelle that I choose is make-up as a collective and specifically blush and lipstick. Make-up was used very often for acting and plays back then which makes it seem like an act, and that she is "hiding" who she truly is. When one puts on blush, sometimes it is known as "putting her face on", which makes it seem like she is not who she says she is, and that she is two-sided. This is true because she tries to be confused as to why she is in hell, although she was aware of her malice and evil actions. When she is unable to find a glass to put on her make-up she begins feeling lost and says, "When I can't see myself I begin to wonder if I really and truly exist." Her make-up is used as a mask, and without it, her confident self has suddenly changed into someone who is doubtful.]]> 2019-05-17 00:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015530 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015539 Garcin - colour - navy blue
I have chosen a navy blue to represent Garcin, as this type of blue generally represents sadness, anxiety and loneliness. Garcin stated to the other two "well, quite frankly, I'd rather be alone." While this blue shows him wanting to be left alone, it also displays his actions before he ended up in 'hell'. Garcin openly had affairs in front of his wife. She would have felt deep trauma, anxiety and depression which are characteristics that blue also represents.]]> 2019-05-17 00:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015539 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015809 Symbol - Rabbit
Rabbits are very skittish animals that would rather run than stand their ground. They are also known to ... breed promiscuously and non monogamously, much like Garcin's dalliances. Rabbits are also generally hunted as pests. The fact that rabbits run away from hunters as they are shot, mirrors Garcin's desertion and death by firing squad.]]> 2019-05-17 00:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015809 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015860 Estelle - Mirror
I chose this symbol for Estelle, because a mirror serves a very one-dimensional purpose: to observe oneself. Estelle's desire for a mirror in the text again highlights her selfishness and sense of self-importance, as her appearance is of little concern considering the never-ending-ness (for want of a better word) of hell. I think that a mirror also represents Estelle's temperament, in that all appears calm and collected on the surface, but once any obstacles come in contact, the surface becomes scratched or shattered. This is like how when Estelle discovers her potential lover dancing with her friend. She tries to maintain that she is unmoved by the situation, that she doesn't care, but it soon becomes clear that she really does care, as she becomes agitated and angry the more she watches, ending up dancing around the room while she speaks. I believe that this self-absorbance and temperance is reflected in the symbol of a mirror.]]> 2019-05-17 00:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361015860 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016489 Garcin - symbol - hyena
The symbol that I would choose to represent Garcin would be a hyena. They do not kill their own food, but feed off of the kill from other animals demonstrating their fear of confronting and killing their prey. Hyenas choose to eat the animals that have already been killed. This is similar to the way in which Garcin takes advantage of his wife knowing that she won't say anything, remaining faithful to him. Garcin also fears confrontation causing him to be unable to end his marriage honestly and instead continues to deceive his wife.]]> 2019-05-17 00:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016489 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016513 The symbol that I believe represents Garcin is the white feather. The white feather is symbolic of cowardice,  comes from cockfighting and the belief that a cockerel sporting a white feather in its tail is likely to be a poor fighter. Cowardice is a defining feature of Garcin's character. For example, when Inez says, "We know you were a deserter" and Garcin proceeds to quickly change the topic to his ill-treatment of his wife. This highlights the same and guilt Garcin feels towards his cowardice.]]> 2019-05-17 00:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016513 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016564 2019-05-17 00:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016564 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016973 The symbol that I would choose for Estelle are colored frogs as they don't look dangerous or evil from the outside but in the inside they are deadly and can be harmful towards other people. Estelle is also like this as she is beautiful on the outside but on the inside she is shady character as she threw a baby off a building and she was having affairs with another men even though she was married.]]> 2019-05-17 00:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361016973 joey_holmes https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017749 2019-05-17 00:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017749 joey_holmes https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017750 2019-05-17 00:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017750 joey_holmes https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017754 For Estelle, the colour I choose for her would be a stylish dark red. Estelle likes her fashion, and would not dare to sit on a couch that clashed with her clothes, and in that sence she is greedy, and the red brings out the fury and anger in her when things do not go her way. Red is also the colour of blood, and the murder on her hands, as she killed her baby because it did not suit her for it to live. This selfishness and her belief of being above everyone else is clearly contridicted when she arrives in hell. ]]> 2019-05-17 00:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017754 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017788 The symbol I chose for Garcin is a poison dart frog. The frog looks innocent and beautiful on the outside but is also highly poisonous. This symbolizes how to the outsider, Garcin seems like an alright person as he's a pacifist journalist but for those in his personal relationships, his actions are toxic and poisonous]]> 2019-05-17 00:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361017788 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361020310 I believe that a blue ringed octopus would represent Garcin quite accurately as it is often thought as a calm looking creature with a deep blue ring pattern and a seemingly harmless looking animal. Under the appearance of a mature, sophisticated and "harmless" character that is Garcin, we begin to see his true potential as a killer. The octopus is also reflective of the "toxic" abilities of Garcin, abusing his wife and taking advantage of her possible mental illness.]]> 2019-05-17 00:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361020310 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361020423 The symbol I would choose for Garcin is a poisonous mushroom. Although they may seem harmless, similar to edible mushrooms or just look visually attractive, they have the potential to kill humans. Garcin is similar in the sense that while he may seem like a reserved and mature man on first impressions, he is a deceitful and "toxic" person.]]> 2019-05-17 00:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361020423 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361021042  2. The symbol I chose for Estelle is a mirror. Mirrors are used to observe yourself, and are largely concerned with making yourself more attractive or checking that your appearance is alright. Throughout the text, Estelle wants a mirror to see herself in.
It also, uh, reflects her behaviour. Mirrors are seen as blank and inoffensive, but shatter easily when making hard contact with surfaces. Estelle attempts to seem blank and serene, but is actually quite emotional and angry about things]]> 2019-05-17 00:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361021042 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361021265 Inez Symbol: Rip (as in the ocean)

Inez behaves in a really tender way towards Estelle, "come and pay me a visit dear... here is a place on my sofa" but is extremely hostile towards men - "[ironically] - a hero!". 

Although tender, she is also very intelligent and will use this to exploit people in order to make them hers, "I'm your lark mirror, my dear, and you can't escape me". Her intelligence can be demonstrated by her analysis of the situation that she is in. This intelligence can mask her personality, which is overall rather negative and not a much-desired one. She is like a rip in this manner - for the average person, difficult to spot and thus easy to be dragged in. If a man were to approach her, they would be dragged and forced into her hostility while a woman would be trapped by her as she tries to make them her own. The more you struggle, the worse the situation becomes, just like a rip. When trapped by a rip, one needs to know what to do in order to retain a chance of survival. Inez's personality is similar but slightly more irksome to deal with. She is, after all, a human, not a force of nature.]]> 2019-05-17 00:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361021265 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361439978 Garcin
Symbol: Ladybird (also known as a ladybird beetle)

The reason I have chosen a ladybird as the symbol for Garcin because ladybirds are very beautiful and harmless on the surface, similar to Garcin. However, when attacking a prey, they turn a bright colour and releases a toxic substance. This shows that although Garcin may look like he has good morals and is kind, he can be quite vicious as is evident through the mistreatment of his wife. ]]> 2019-05-19 00:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361439978 jas_esvelt https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/laeypynddz2v/wish/361617410 The colour I think represents the overall personality and temperament of Inez’s character is a jet black. I believe this because, like the colour black, Inez possesses a lot of darkness and negativity, seen when she has an affair with her cousin’s wife. Inez is portrayed to be completely honest about this, rather than trying to hide it to the other characters and appear redeeming. This can be seen, for example, when she states plainly on Page 29, “Human feeling? That’s beyond my range. I’m rotten to the core.” She accepts her flaws, negativity, and intensity, and never masks from others her twisted and dark nature with false elements of lightness. In this way, her personality is similar to the solidness and intensity of a jet black.
