Pages 68-69 portray Helena stalking Demetruis through the woods. It's overly dramatic which plays to the presentation of Shakeseare's time. Sometimes roles needed to be overly done in order to convey a clearer message. Helena compares herself to a spaniel that bends to Demetrius' every whim. Demetruis shuns Helena and her foolish behavior.
Helena's words are encompassed in heart-shaped bubbles while Demetruis' once oval bubbles turn into harsh sporatic splotches. Helena's, on the other hand, remain heart-shaped. This just gives proof that it will take far more than harsh words to persuad her to no longer love Demetruis.
The clothes worn are a mixture of modern with old. There is an initial toga-like appearance that fades into suit pants or socks and sandals.
The backgrounds are simple enough. The majority of the scenes are in wooded areas. This would be a great convenience to the crew who had to build the set. They didn't need to plan for too many changes and could create this set with a small budget.
