This has been scratching at my brain for the past days but yes. holy fuck. Natlie is so Actaeon coded it is unreal.

Euripides has this said about him in Bacchae (aka, the play where the Theban women tear Pentheus apart. Helloooooo Doomcoming and Jackie feast paralels??):

"Look at Actaeon's wretched fate who by the man-eating hounds he had raised, was torn apart, better at hunting than Artemis he had boasted to be, in the meadows."

Is this not what happened in "Old Wounds"? Putting the divine hunter against the worldly one? Nat against Lottie in a contest, Lottie's wilderness making prey out of Nat in "It Chooses" where she is hunted by those she trusted (the team/the hounds).

natalie “i’ve been the archer, i’ve been the prey” scatorccio.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #finally something that I can use my degrees for lol #but no fr i am going feral over this #not even one episode there's a whole trend #also if you take the Bacchae again with Jackie #it makes sense to put her on the position of Pentheus #Pentheus forbids the worship of Dionysus in Thebes (aka loser city)#and Dionysus gets pissed that he has him lured out to a Bacchic feast #there's not exactly direct paralels #but Jackie's reaction to what happened at Doomcoming in 1x10 is very wtf guys we dont do this #the reason that her fight with Shauna starts is because Misty points out that Jackie didn't say thanks to the wilderness #and SHAUNA #it's a popular convention that Pentheus' mother is the first to kill him #not getting all oedipal in here but I think you can still make a comparison on the case of the person loving them the most killing them #Shauna is also the first to eat from Jackie #okay that was my ted talk
