anne carson: simple moving poem about awkward dinners with not-quite-friends and the ennui that comes with realizing this mundane unhappiness is all adult life is sometimes

insane people on twitter: has she ever tried being happy? i like going to dinner with friends, what’s wrong with her? she can afford to go out to dinner, she shouldn’t complain. just be a cooler hang, skill issue. this isn’t my exact experience (i like my friends) therefore this poem is bad and unrelatable and pretentious. she can’t debone a fish? loser.

#would bet money that 75% of people shitting on it have rt’d that ‘not to me. not if it’s you’ quote more than twice #so terrifying about the state of discourse lol #anne carson

SHAUNA SHIPMAN: AN ORESTEIA

#yes everything is about greek tragedies to me what about it #shauna is literally The Epitome of Tragedy i cannot stress this enough #her whole life is drenched in grief #and shame and loss and guilt #THE DESPAIR #what's that quote by khaled hosseini?? #about if you had just opened your mouth and said something at that one pivotal moment your whole life might have turned out different?? #but you didn't say something?? you stayed silent instead?? #also richard siken's someone has to leave first quote that everyone on this hellsite should know by heart <3 #That is the Epitome of Tragedy thank u mr hosseini #thank u mr siken #the inevitability of it all. the inescapability. what if you just - #but you didn't. you didn't and that is why you suffer #anyways i was too lazy to find more quotes so these excerpts are from both anne carson's translation of the oresteia #and robert icke's extraordinary modern-day production of the greek tragedy #shauna shipman #shauna x jackie #yellowjackets #parallels #web weaving

Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Ep. 1, 2, 30, & 40 // Autobiography of Red, Anne Carson

#he died the first time knowing he was out of time. he lived for ten years with every day being another bit of time he couldn’t believe he go #t but still couldn’t truly live with it. and then to meet someone. who cares for you irreparably. who cares for you when you’re trouble or #sick or well or bitter—someone who only wants your time. which is the one thing you don’t have. and you don’t have the heart to tell him. #even to the end. that the thing you resented for ten years. the thing you had no regard for or hope to change. is what you want more than #anything. so you can have it with him. so you can live with him. again. a third life. and you don’t get it #and he won’t understand until you’ve left and then. well. then is a beach and a meeting months too late #mysterious lotus casebook #Anne Carson #parallels #li lianhua #li xiangyi #fang duobing #di feisheng

Long story short I dislike most modern retellings because they seem to be focused on "fixing" the ancient stories and breaking them to fit into their own moral box which is insanely self centered to me and hardly ever actually engages with the stories as they are

#i like modernized takes where the modernizing is more like #translating how a story may have made people feel then and knowing how to elicit the same feelings in a modern audience #aka. hadestown exemplifying why we tell tragedies and tragic love stories #it never went 'um euridice is barely a character thats horrible lets fix that' #it went 'why do we tell stories of tragedy and love for thousands of years?' #anne carson is (in my non academia take) good at modernizing the language to make it understandable to modern readers #hence Dionysus going 'ok ladies up we get! no more crying no more weeping!' #anyway where is the modern odyssey that realises there is already the built in bit #where every time someone asks who Odysseus is he gives a different answer lmao its RIGHT THERE

three days in the house of atreus ; act two

ORESTES: I was born here and can remember nothing of it. PYLADES: Did you expect to remember something? ORESTES: Someone’s face. The room I was meant to live in. The voice of my mother—the voice of my father. PYLADES: Let us find his tomb before we go deeper into this lair. ORESTES: I fear to see it. In my dreams, he is just behind a door. In my dreams, I see him still. PYLADES: What does his face look like? ORESTES: (Beat). Like mine.
