Rock’s rebellious spirit, though seemingly incompatible with the literary work, accurately captures the characters’ core.
Combining 19th-century European court costumes with punk elements, it adopts the classic red-and-black punk color scheme, echoing the novel’s themes, and presenting cross-era spiritual conflict and integration.
