I know literally nothing about Hadestown, if it's okay, could you explain how it connects to Jinu's story?
Sure!
So Hadestown is a retelling of the old Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice, which idk if you're familiar with that. It's fine if you aren't, it doesn't matter too much to this specific comparison.
Eurydice, in the Hadestown musical, is a woman who grew up in poverty, moving from place to place. She and Orpheus (a poor and idealistic musician) strike up a tender relationship, where she moves past her natural jadedness in order to commit to staying with him.
But then, as winter comes, things start to fall apart. Orpheus is a poor boy, and he has no food. Eurydice looks hard for food and firewood, because she's trying to commit to her promise to stay with Orpheus instead of moving on to the next place like she usually does. But she's hungry.
And then Hades shows up.
Hades is the king of the underworld, which in this universe is run like a mixture of hell and an endless workyard. He heard her expressing interest in his kingdom earlier, when he came to the human world to pick up his wife, Persephone (who stays in the human world in the summer and Hadestown in the winter).
So essentially, Hades is very perceptive, and he sees that Eurydice is desperate, that she's hungry, and he preys on that. He offers her a job in Hadestown, enticing her with the idea of reliable food and shelter.
And even though Eurydice wants to stay with Orpheus, she decides to go with Hades.
(note: I didn't realize that all the lines I quoted in that other post were from this^ song specifically, lol. I feel like this one works really really well with Jinu's backstory.)
Anyway, after Eurydice goes with Hades into the underworld, she "signs her life away to him" in a hyper-exploitative contract that basically states that he owns her now. She goes to work on his workline, and realizes that in Hadestown, nobody has an identity--they've all forgotten their identities after years of labor. They're fed, they're "secure," but they're all in complete and total despair.
...There's more that happens after that, but that's the main part that tracks super closely to Jinu's backstory in kpdh. Person in poverty abandons loved ones for the promise of food given to them by a malicious exploitative entity... yeah, it tracks very closely.
And here's a bonus rapid-fire round: here's all the songs from Hadestown that make me think very very heavily about Jinu. I already put Gone, I'm Gone above. But there's also When the Chips Are Down, Hey, Little Songbird, Way Down Hadestown (Reprise), and one of my personal favorites off the entire soundtrack, Flowers. That one would be very good for sitting and thinking about Jinu angst. :]
Where's the ripcord?
Links got his fingers down some guys throat and rhetts doing it two at a time- raise your hand if you're surprised.
dean, at the end of 4x11: i can't fill this hole. not ever.
me, who's just zoned back in to the episode: i know someone who can...
y'all I had a mf allergic reaction to SOMETHING and now I've got annoying red bumps all over the INSIDE of my hands!!!!! 😣😣😣
It's really interesting getting to origin of blind obedience in the manga because it's my favorite in the anime........by which i mean it's weird and disconcerting to get to origin of blind obedience in the manga because I've rewatched it like 6 times in the anime, and rewound to listen to dialogue and watch specific scenes over and over again, and paused to analyze every line, and scrubbed for screenshots, and i can quote whole sections of the japanese on sight without hearing it or seeing it romanized, so the fact that it's neither line-for-line shot-for-shot exactly the same in the manga, nor does it have the soundtrack and voice acting playing somehow out from the page, nor does it have the exact same visual gags and translation, nor is it paced exactly the same with episode breaks lining up with chapter breaks is physically upsetting me.............but it's good tho
Anyway, Fushiguro under the cut...
