Please answer the following questions about Euripides' Bacchae, devoting 6-10 thoughtful sentences to each response.
Due: Monday, February 5, noon.
Does Dionysus, in forecasting the punishment of Pentheus (vv. 43-48), spoil the suspense of the drama? Why or why not?
Why is Pentheus so eager to see the mountain revels he condemns (vv. 811-812)?
Why does Pentheus see “two suns” and “two Thebes” (vv. 918-919)?
Does Dionysus treat the Thebans justly (especially in the epilogue)? Why or why not?
