I can never be normal about the bacchae of form any coherent thought on it. That play saved my fucking life. I owe my happiness to the fucking bacchae
#The bacchae#look man. First story you ever see something reflective of yourself thrive and crush what tried to destroy it?#When you just escaped an improperly prescribed medicine insanity spiral after years of suffering#Scared because you don’t know who you can even be at this point because you’re just not normal and unhappy with the future you chose for yo#I literally sat there. Staring at the finale.#I’ve grown more sympathetic to pentheus after a few more readings. He was mad and insecure in his own way#But he didn’t deserve what his fatal flaw brought to his family#because like omg this is the story of a family that’s been broken. This dynasty is doomed to suffer beyond catharsis#And yet. Dionysos and the maenads were like me. And it made me feel alive#dionysus
