Sex Is Violence/Theatre

Examples of in  include:

"Enjolras: "Red, the blood of angry men, Black, the dark of ages past." . . . Enjolras: "Red!" Marius: "I feel my soul on fire!" Grantaire: "Black!" Marius: "My world if she's not there!" Ensemble: "Red!" Marius: "The color of desire!" Ensemble: "Black!" Marius: "The color of despair!""
 * The musical Les Miserables illustrates this trope beautifully with the song Red and Black. It connects Enjolras' hopes for revolution with Marius' love of Cosette.

"Grantaire: "You talk of battles to be won, and here he comes like Don Juan. It's better than an opera!""
 * Also lampshaded in the intro to the song.


 * Artistic portrayals of Othello often indulge in this trope, with Desdemona suffocated by her lover in their bed.
 * This ballet adaptation advertisement features a rather interesting composition.
 * The trope page includes a painting by Alexandre-Marie Colin, which portrays a non-canon example of Drop-Dead Gorgeous.
 * Stanley and Stella's entire relationship in A Streetcar Named Desire.
