Oh Greek Theater! The theatrics of it all. Dionysus, possesses a multitude of powers and can take a variety of forms. Dionysus’s gifts allow humans to let go of their troubles through wine, to let go of their identities through theater, and to let go of their individuality through cult worship. This is the beauty within the story.  There is this underlying darkness in the play associated with Dionysus and the idea of letting go. It seems as though his powers drive people to this place of no return, there was no self-control and ultimately leads to insanity. People are driven to let go of their judgement, and ultimately their grasp of humanity.
