ten years apart 😭

hermes in hadestown is the exact opposite of an unreliable narrator. a tortured narrator. a little *too* reliable. incredibly aware of exactly what is happening at any given moment, vaguely spoiling it for you in the beginning, despairing every second of it. but ultimately motivated to continue to tell the story over and over and over with a smiling face for the sake of the audience, and for the sake of the characters themselves, singing it again to keep them alive. knowing how it will end, but singing it again so that the cycle may restart and eurydice may come back to life. enduring the misery of it all, over and over, holding the knowledge of what will come to pass but continuing anyway to see orpheus happy just one more time before it all goes down in flames again.

people always talk about the doomed love timeloop when they talk about hadestown. look i love that shit as much as the next homosexual but can we please talk about the revolutionary politics. genuinely one of the best anticapitalist pieces of art of the 21st century. can we watch act 2 with our brains please

“The enemy is poverty and the wall keeps out the enemy and we build the wall to keep us free” is actually one of the most insane lines ever written I think AND ALSO the doomed romance is inherently tied to the hope for a better world god bless

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

On my period rn but if Eve had been a man who ate the fruit of knowledge, Christianity would have a lot more apple imagery and apple related celebrations but idk tho

#something something womb envy?#idk tho #man would’ve been celebrated for either fulfilling Gods plan or outsmarting God and/or the devil #I grew up Mormon so I’m sure we would’ve had some weird lesson about “eating the apple was gods plan” finished with some pie or smth
