Using Type to Inform emotion

Using the darkness in literature I intend to inform the viewer emotion as this text will be added to my object. Creating the mood will mean the text will need to dark but instead of using lyrics or quotes I have decided to look into old literature because of the complex style of language 'H.G Wells' Time Machine has dark quotes relating to the 'Morlocks' although these are to character based and would maybe confuse the viewer to my intent.

Dante's 'The Divine Comedy', references 'the seven deadly' sins of Catholicism, although passages from this text can be very dark the use would be to literal and evil rather than uneasy and distressed.















Shakespeare's 'Othello' uses darkness but in the sense of envy in the creature called 'Iago' this creatures bitterness is displayed throughout the play in a distressed and uneasy manner.

"My cause is hearted: thine hath no reason./ Let us be conjunctive in our revenge against him./ If thou canst cuckold him, then dost thyself a pleasure, me a sport".

"Out of her own goodness make the net
That shall enmesh them all."

Application of the text will need thought as space is required for a quote of this size.

Does it need to be legible?

Material?

Durability
