With You In The Dark

shitshit shit. umm no its fine. does anyone see a grenade pin on tbe floor

I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”

the fact that on my way out of seeing the hadestown proshot with my sibling i was walking to the theater exit and without even thinking about it i turned around to see where they were... yeah. yeah.

like. you can be frustrated at orpheus. you can be heartbroken for orpheus and eurydice. you should be. but when you're walking together and your loved one isn't right next to you that instinct to turn around and check on them is as natural as breathing

it’s frustrating to see analysis of orpheus and eurydice’s relationship end at their love for each other when the entire purpose of that love, narratively, is to introduce the political themes of the musical. you won’t fight for a better future if you don’t see one ahead of you, and eurydice didn’t until orpheus showed her, and that was why she fell in love with him. when his support becomes intangible to her, she loses herself to despair, but then he shows her again, and then the chorus, and then persephone, and finally hades. everyone was so lost in their personal tragedies that they couldn’t look past them to see their sorrows reflected in those of others, and in that they could not find connection and solidarity, and in that they could not conceive of finding people with hands that they might join to lift each other up. orpheus is overwhelmed by his personal tragedy and succumbs to it, and only then does he fail to reverse it. meanwhile, his showing the path forward and uniting the chorus up until the moment he turns allows them to resurface alongside persephone, having found hope and support and the willingness to fight for both those things in him and in each other
