there is no summer,
and the seasons are wrong,
and the wind is so strong,
and we've forgotten,
and the gods have forgotten the song of their love,
'caaaaause hadestown is a metaphor for global warming and capitalist oppression, you know, only the love plot distracts, and you're weeping, you know, at the end, even tho y'aaaaalllll knew how it ends because like every other bookish kid you are well-read in your graecuuuus mythology, and, yo know, the sad part (apart from the other sad parts), the part that makes no sense motif-wise, is: the labour union angle goes to nothing, 'cause orpheus, accidental iww agent extraordinaire, goes and has doubts and other crisisisisises of faith, and the labour union is kinda stuck in a time loop, which, you know, sucks 'cause i want an anarcho-syndicalist revolution in the underworld
