“(a re-imagining) of Persephone as grieving in equal parts.
She grieves when she leaves the underworld because she'll miss her people.
She'll miss the shadow.
She'll miss her husband.
She grieves when she descends into the underworld because she'll miss her mother.
She'll miss the outside world.
She'll miss the flowers, right
And so, there's a reimagining of an idea,
of the underworld not as a punishment or as a place for her to go to be
miserable
but rather is a place that helps her to understand her power”
