and there could be conflict between them.
             We could see a difference in strength in Hermione in Howells' version. Calder-Marshall acted her part as if she really lacked strength. For example, she was very timid compared to both Hermiones' in the other interpretations. A small detail which caught my eye in Howells' interpretation was that there was a significant contrast in both Hermiones' and Leontes' clothes. Hermiones was dressed in white, symbolising that she is innocent, and Leontes was dressed in black, symbolising that evil and depression will soon approach him.
             We can see, through the amount of props and costume that Howell and Doran's interpretations were probably set in the 17th century, and Warchus' interpretation was probably set in the 20th century. The amounts of props were plenty in Warchus' interpretation, especially compared to the other two. This demonstrates that it has been modernised, as very few props would be used in Shakespeare's original play.
             When we compare Leontes accusations to Hermione of being an "adult'ress" with Polixenes, we have to take into account the crescendo of tension for the audience and the actors on stage. In Howell's interpretation we see no contact between Hermione and Leontes. When comparing this with the other two interpretations where there is a lot more physical contact between these two characters, in Warchus's interpretation Leontes seemed to know exactly what he was doing to Hermione and this reinforces his anger. In Dorans' interpretation, as Leontes pushes Hermione onto the floor, his facial expression demonstrates to the audiecne that he was scared and unsure of what he was doing. This was effective as it reinforced Leontes' illness and diseased mind, and that is probably how Shakespeare wanted Leontes to be.
             "Now from the oracle they will bring all" This is the first reference of the oracle, and I feel that Warchus wanted to stress the importance of Leontes' speech, ...
