The author of this story places a label on each of these girls by using a color to represent them. I believe that the author wants to present a sort of "blank slate" that each of us is born with, and then she wants to present the fact that the blank slate is colored by circumstances--not skin tone. To me, the colors represent something that each girl has gone through. The author has defined each of the girls by the color that they represent. For example, the lady in red is angry because, apparently, she has been raped by someone she knows.
These colors not only give meaning to each girl, they give vivid imagery on what each girl is feeling throughout the course of the production. I think I like this better than giving each girl a name--I can see them through their colors.
So my question is this: What do these colors mean to you? Are they even significant at all?
