which ends up making people think that i’m not enjoying myself for that i don’t want to be there
and some commotion for the little one!!!
thinking about the parallels between the famous “I can take care of myself just fine.” // “No.” and these greek play quotes:
“I’ll take care of you.” // “It’s rotten work.” // “Not to me. Not if it’s you.” [Pylades and Orestes, Orestes, Anne Carson’s translation.]
“I fear to stain your clothes with blood.” // “Stain them. I don’t care.” [Theseus and Herakles, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides, Anne Carson]
“Let go of me.” // “Never.” [Eurydice and Orpheus, either from Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, or Orpheus & Eurydice: A Verse Drama by Edward Eaton.]
like do Neil and Todd even know the tragedies they’re echoing????
right. can we talk about the fact that the dead poets CARRIED neils coffin to his burial place. i think that kind of experience would alter them completely.
how cruel must it be to have to carry your dead friend to his grave, knowing only a few days before you were celebrating in the cave at his triumphs? that kind of shared experience between the dead poets i think would be a collective trauma only they could understand.
ask me about it actually
