#* character study .

your heart can never hold still . it pounds against your chest frantically , always turning your sights to one thing after the next . when was the last time you were certain ? the last time your life was stable ? maybe this is how you prefer things . on the move constantly , not tied down to one person or place . you chase one goal after the next . can you ever really feel complete without a place to land ? shouldn’t you build yourself a nest ?

𝚁𝙴𝙿𝙾𝚂𝚃 ; 𝙳𝙾 𝙽𝙾𝚃 𝚁𝙴𝙱𝙻𝙾𝙶 𝙿𝙻𝙴𝙰𝚂𝙴 !

Macbeth:

the howl of wolves  .  moonless nights  .  DIRT  UNDER  FINGERNAILS .   chattering  teeth  . rotting  fruit  . voices  hoarse  and  cracked .  echoing drums  .  dry  heaving  .  hanging  cobwebs  .  stifling  humidity  .  bloodshot  eyes  . the roughness of rusted steel  .  WILD  ROSEBUSHES  .  muscle cramps  .  STAINED SILK  . THE  SOUND  OF  SPLINTERING  WOOD  .

A Midsummer Nights Dream:

crackling  fires .  IVY  CRAWLING  ON  STONE  .  THE  FAINT  MUSIC  OF  RUNNING  WATER  .  petrichor  .  DIRTY  ,  BARE  FEET .  tattered  clothing  . THISTLEDOWN  .   WILDFLOWER  CROWNS . late  evening  birdsong  .  CURLING  LEAVES  .  a  symphony  of  croaking  frogs  .  drifting feathers  .  the  eerie  sound  of  windchimes  at  night  .  HUMMING  BEES  .  BEDS  OF  CLOVER  .

Romeo and Juliet:

warm  golden  lamp  light  .  worn  shoes  .  crumbling  brick  walls  .  whispered  poetry  .  embroidered  satin  .  COOL  ,  HAZY  MORNINGS  . TOUSLED  HAIR .  ROSEWATER  .  flushed  cheeks  .  distant  orchestras  .  unfinished  marble  statues  .  cobblestone  streets  .  loose  threads .  ink smudged on parchment .  tapping  fingers  .  dust illuminated by sunlight  .  POISON  VIALS  .

Hamlet:

shattered glass  .  a  cluster  of  fraying  ribbons  .  unanswered  knocks  on  doors  .  LINGERING  DAMPNESS  .  white  noise  .  inexplicable drafts  .  migraines  .  bleeding  ears  .  the taste of metal  .  REFLECTED  MIRRORS  .  dry,  cracked  lips  .  the sound of tearing paper  .  FOGGED  WINDOWS  .  memories  of  dreams  . tarnished silver  .  protruding  veins  .
