Manga Shakespeare...

So we are only going off like 4 pages but the first few pages where the author introduces everyone is colored, then the rest is black and white..interesting i thought. but in these few pages we have some very dark colored characters yelling at each other and fighting then on another page the gutter is filled black to give us a sense of the dark night and so of the mysteriousness that is there. But the one page i found the most interesting and why i really chose this piece is the last page. After all this dark and gloominess they come to the scene of a young girl she is crying and the lines on this page are so light it is a little hard to see (on a computer) so the author is showing severe distinctions between dark in light which correlates strongly with the love and anger in this classic. Also on this final page there is no gutter so everything kind of blends together as if it is all happening very smoothly and i think this kinda goes with pointy is dangerous and round is safe is that the lack of a gutter smooths the page out it is almost one big frame instead of several smaller ones.
