Apollonian and Dionysian - Wikipedia

Gerald’s Game uses this Nietzschian Theory that is postulated in Nietzsche’s The Art of Tragedy. Gerald’s Game uses the artful structure of the horror film to reveal an underlying narrative of abuse and confrontation of an abusive past. It uses dream sequences to create an Apollonian veil of fantastical beauty that then reveals the Dionysian truth that Jessie has been abused and shackled herself to the secret that kept her submissive throughout her life.

Nietzsche’s Overman: Integrating Apollonian and Dionysian Principles and Finding Purpose

A topic lightly treaded upon in Nietzcshe’s writing, the ubermensch, or the “overman” is a very interesting one to consider. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the overman is defined as one who is willing to risk it all for the sake of improving humanity. In comparison to the layman, who desires only to live in his own little bubble of comfort, habit, and security – far from the life of creativity. In theory, the overman establishes values on his own terms to escape from the herd mentality of society. He lives his life with purpose, and so the overman defines his own function in society in a way that benefits the greater good of humanity as a whole in opposition to living either (1) in the past and future or (2) in the present moment focusing on personal happiness and pleasure. Knowing the power of living on after death, the overman leaves behind some sort of creative work that changes history, that changes the way people think, even long after his physical death. The origin of this creative work is of his inner reality, which he projects out into the world for all to see and share.

Whoever wants to resist the disruption of the hitherto known economy of illusions, has to be something other than what had been known as known human to date—a survivor vaccinated against the madness of the truth. The economic paradox of Nietzsche's good news consists in the indication that the primary, immeasurably bad news must be recompensed by an as yet unproven mobilization of creative counter-energies. The overman concept is a wager on the distant possibility of such compensation: 'We have art so that we do not go to ground on the truth'—this means: we have the prospect of the overman in order that unbearable insights into the unveiled human condition may be endured.

Peter Sloterdijk, Nietzsche Apostle pg. 41
