some people love to consume media full of rape allegories and then say "huh? rape allegories? there's no rape in this! you're disgusting."

just-a-lidle-creacher

and if i said hadestown. i mean fucks sake its barely allegorical its near textual “a lot can happen behind closed doors” “and hades laid his hands on ya” “i trembled when he laid me out” “men are kind, until they aren’t” “the girl means nothing to me” GUYS ARE WE SO SERIOUS. ITS SO CLEAR. ITS SO FUCKING CLEAR. SHE HAS A COSTUME CHANGE. SHE COMES OUT OF HIS OFFICE WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES. IN MANY PRODUCTIONS HE LOOSENS HIS TIE BEFORE ENTERING HIS OFFICE. GUYS.

#oh wow was this not obvious to people?#i thought it was very clear that’s what was happening #especially since at the end of chant hades implies that he wants to use eurydice to replace perseophone #and there’s so much icky sexual tension in hey little songbird #like hades very clearly sees her as sexual prey #and then yeah with a lot can happen behind closed doors #hadestown #tw sexual assault #cozy reblog

I see a lot of people online saying that Orpheus (Hadestown specifically) looks back because he loves Eurydice so much, that there isn't a world in which he doesn't look back, because the kind of man who wouldn't look back is not the kind of man who would go after her in the first place, etc. It's inevitable because of the strength of his love. But I don't see that as being the whole picture. Textually, it is explicitly his doubt in himself, and in the narrative of his life, that makes him look back: "Doubt Comes In", and he wonders, who is he that Hades would let him win? Who is he that Eurydice would follow him through the dark? Orpheus used to have a very simple, naive view of the world and his place in it. He was single-minded. At the beginning he tells Eurydice he's the man who is going to marry her because...well, that's how the story should go, and he is a poet first and foremost. Then, when he meets Hades, he is confronted by what Eurydice did and what the world is really like. He is shattered by the realisation that Eurydice wasn't just a simple, "pure" victim, but that she signed her life away. He is beaten down and loses faith, he goes into "Is this how it is?" after he's literally already done the impossible by reaching Hadestown on foot. He should have proven his abilities to himself by this point, but things aren't going the way they are supposed to and he doesn't know who he is anymore. He isn't just a boy in love with a girl who sings a song to bring back spring: he's a boy who didn't look back when he should have the first time when she called his name; she's a girl who chose her immediate needs over his grand ideals. His faith in a world where they make it back together is broken. He looks back because he doesn't trust himself or the narrative that he's found himself in. It's even more heartbreaking to me, because the Orpheus he was at the beginning of the musical might not have looked back, but that version of Orpheus doesn't make it out of the Underworld.

And to top it all off, the version of Eurydice from the beginning of the musical, before love softened her hard edges and made her trust him, probably wouldn't have followed Orpheus out of Hadestown. Eurydice really does trust him to get her out, because she's looking for the Orpheus she used to know and she's seen the power of his song and worldview.

Am I rambling into the void or does this make sense to anyone else?

Every time I have seen Hadestown - on stage or in the movie theater - people gasp when Orpheus turns around. I just love how it's so old and yet everyone is still always hoping that this time

Imagine being Anais Mitchell and writing a song about the rhetoric of fascism so incisive and prescient that 10 years later an actual fascist would use that exact rhetoric down to the highly-specific phrasing in his presidential campaign. But also it took 10 years for the project you wrote that song for to move from living room shows to concept album to theater workshop to off-Broadway to Broadway, and its Broadway debut ended up coinciding with said fascist's successful bid for the presidency, and now it looks like your song that you wrote in 2005 is a super unsubtle reference to that one particular and highly-topical politician.

Frankly if I were her I would have started killing.

#yeah when I first heard it I was like ‘oh this must have been a response to Trump’#and then I looked into it and NOPE LOL ITS FROM LIKE TEN YEARS BEFORE #fucking insane #hadestown #cozy reblog

I’ve been trying to put my finger on why Hades being depicted as a villain is so annoying in other media but works so well in Hadestown, and I think I’ve figured out why: Hadestown Hades isn’t the bad guy because he’s the god of the DEAD; instead, he’s the bad guy because he’s the god of WEALTH. Usually, whenever Hades appears in a movie or video game, he has some stupid motivation like “ughh I’m tired of being lord of the underworld I wanna be lord of everything” or “I’m the Greek mythology version of the western concept of Satan, fear me!!” but Hadestown really said screw that and made his motivation “I love my wife so much but we have a shitty marriage arrangement and her long absence combined with my severe self-doubt has lead me down the hellish road to corruption by all the riches under the ground.”

That actually make a lot of sense 😭 Hadestown’s version of Hades never bothered me and now I know why

#THIS I was actually trying to figure that out yesterday #because usually I’d be so annoyed by this #but I think making him a robber baron type of figure really suits this adaptation #and hes also not one dimensionally evil - like he does still have love for persephone #this also plays into why I’m not bothered by the conflation of hades/the underworld with hell #even though that usually pisses me off in adaptations #it really fits into the time period/musical style the play is based around really seamlessly #as well as the critique of capitalism and the portrayal of hades as this god of wealth #like it doesn’t feel like the typical ‘well in Christianity there’s hell and a devil so that must be what hades is!’#there was actual thought put into it to make it work in this world #hadestown #cozy reblog

like the point is eurydice signs the contract so that she can survive. she's hungry and cold. and hades promises food, shelter, safety, even comfort. but she still doesn't get what she's after because it kills her. we submit to the capitalism machine because we need food, we need somewhere to lay our head in order to be people, but it strips away our personhood anyway.

i really really really really really like hadestown's repeated use of "eurydice was a hungry girl" because at first pass you might think oh, she's scrappy and street smart and her ambition is going to be the foil to orpheus's idealist romanticism. but nope! no she is literally hungry. she is starving. that is her motivator and everybody knows it. she loves, oh she does, but she can't be fucking blamed for fulfilling her physical needs first.

kindof-amess

Thinking about the Hadestown proshot and Orpheus being introduced wiping down a table with his back to the audience. Hermes has to call out to him again to get him to take his opening bow, and for the show to start, Orpheus has to turn around.
