"IĀ“m simultaneously Hippolytus and Phaedra, and both tjose things are completely possible, that lethal cynicism coupled with obsessional love for someone who is completely unlovable. And which is completely blind. So everytime I wrote a scene I was writing myself into rather opposite states and what itĀ“s like when these to people come together." Sarah Kane(Love me or kill me. Sarah Kane and the theatre of extremes. p31)
I think a person really have to look at her own dark sides to understand violence in Kanes texts and in the world in general. If you canĀ“t do that you will become either boring or dangerous or just a savage combination of both.
