The Forbidden Fruit

Actor - Ralph Fiennes
Actress – Rosario Dawson

Many of us know Ralph Fiennes better as the alter ego of Tom Riddle, the evil Lord Voldemort. That is one of the many reasons why I have chosen him as Hades, considering his role in Harry Potter. In Harry Potter Ralph Fiennes played a character who took many lives of innocent people. This is why I have chosen him as Hades because Hades was the god of the underworld who controlled the dead and was feared by many.
The second reason why I picked Ralph Fiennes as Hades is because he has acted as a villain in many movies so I believe it will be easier for him to get into the character of Hades. In his interview he had stated that when he is acting he is not himself anymore and he said that he loves the sense of being someone else.
The third reason why I chose him as Hades is because of his calm facial expression which seems almost stoic. Hades is described as an intimidating and cruel being who expresses no feeling towards others despite being surrounded with dead souls begging for another chance at life, he stays impassive. The first reason I have chosen Rosario Dawson as Persephone is because of her pervious role as Persephone in Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. She had portrayed a woman who was unafraid of her surrounds and was fearsome as the queen of the underworld.
Rosario Dawson has filmed many movies where she has had to play a character who leads a tough life. So I thought that she would be perfect for the role of Persephone because as the queen of the underworld she needs to become like someone who is terrifying and who will not be crushed by Hades might.
The third reason why I chose Rosario Dawson is due to her personal qualities. Even when she is off-camera she is active in political, social and environmental causes. She lent her voice to a campaign which was aimed at preventing domestic violent. This shows that she is a capable and has the qualities of portraying a queen who speaks up for what is right.
