Lando did not do a single wrong thing in ESB. Sure, his actions sparked a terrible chain of events. But selling out Han to save an entire population of people? Not a wrong move. Will never, ever be a wrong move.

Ok so here's where I'm at with Icarus:
I'm essentially - for lack of better term - calling their bluff.
Icarus says they don't *want* to hurt their friends and family, but will do so if needed.
Mans couldn't even leave Rae alone when they splashed them with Skulk, so they've already proven that they can't fully follow through.
And today when Icarus was saying, "I don't want to hurt you, Athena." -
No, no, no, you're the big bad villain now. You've got to what you think is right, so go ahead and do it! Go on a killing spree and kill/hurt your friends and family, cause even if you Fable wins, oh I'm *sure* they'll forgive and still trust you after all is done.
You claim that you've never been good, that you're a killer, so go on...
Go on...
Unless you can't?

if you havent seen hadestown in person (or otherwise) i need you to know that in the center of the stage a giant circle is inlaid. (two, if you want to be precise) it can spin in place, and the middle is a platform that raises up and down at certain points in the show. you can see it unmoving here in this gifset.
it makes for some truly captivating choreo
but more importantly is what it silently adds to the layers of metaphor;
hadestown as being an inherently cyclical, doomed to repeat story. we keep telling it, hermes tells us, despite the ending always being the same.
(we gasp, the audience, every time orpheus turns around. why?)
hadestown, taking place on a stage with a turning table. where the characters keep walking in circles, over and over, forever.
