i just think if the main guy blinds himself right there you could be getting weirder about the audience’s spectatorship
have resolved this for myself actually. you go to see a play about a guy looking too close in the mirror and seeing something fucked up and you say lmao why would you even look at that. well riddle me this why did you go and see the play. moral: why would you want to watch that lmao

#marshall 2003 discounts lyric assignment as a casting principle#BUT i arrived at this casting by other means and it happens to work out with one actor not having to sing#and i think that one actor was probably the one who was hired for his writing abilities and not his acting/singing#mine#oresteiablogging

to have this line delivered BY klytemnestra's body and actor!!! we do NOT have klytemnestra's corpse after all because she is walking and talking and addressing the court and arguing for the prosecution!!! her corpse is nOT a cold hard fact!!! it proves nothing.
#new eumenides take. orestes is acquitted BECAUSE he is in a play.#his defense is that he was an actor (acting the role scripted for him by apollo) but it should have been that CLYTEMNESTRA was an actor#and that death was her enacted role#orestes can't be convicted of killing her because clytemnestra got right up and came back on as athena
