eve was a girlboss for eating that fruit. adam was a himbo for doing what his wife said. i will not elaborate

Yet men will boast of knowledge, which he took,
From Eve's fair hand, as from a learned book.

oh god it must feel insane to play guildenstern every night and say that line at the end "There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said--no. But somehow we missed it. Well, we'll know better next time." Like an audience only has to see it play out once but as that actor every single night for months you have to watch this character re-forget and make the same choices and fight against the same tide towards the inevitable conclusion and swear that there's a way to do it differently next time. rinse repeat.

"Dance with me the gallowdance
As long as we're... as long as we're not hanging
As... as long as we still can my love
We both know the string is always ready"

Fleeing - it seems - is a call for help and sometimes a form of suicide. Nonetheless you experience a brief feeling of eternity. Not only do you cut off your links with the world, but also with time. And occasionally, in the late morning, the sky is a faint blue and nothing weighs on you any longer.
La fugue – paraît-il – est un appel au secours et quelquefois une forme de suicide. Vous éprouvez quand même un bref sentiment d'éternité. Vous n'avez pas seulement tranché les liens avec le monde, mais aussi avec le temps. Et il arrive qu'à la fin d'une matinée, le ciel soit d'un bleu léger et que rien ne pèse plus sur vous.
