Bacchae
To begin my response, I really enjoyed this play and the story of Dionysus. I found this story to really have that greek mythology type of feel to it. For a God to make someone see a lion rather than a human is crazy. What I also found crazy is that Dionysus, God of wine known to be relaxed, truly knows how to punish his enemies. It is so interesting that he has a complete plan to punish people and he makes it so complex to where it deeply punishes and destroys one's life. In my opinion I think Pentheus and his family deserved the punishment because they insulted the God. Even though Dionysus was in disguise it is fair to say they should've been respecting the God in general. Not only is Dionysus a God of wine and relaxation, but he also has great wisdom to create such a complex plan to punish those who anger him.Â
