In this episode of Tale Oft Told, we descend into one of the most beloved romance films ever made: The Notebook.
But beneath the rain-soaked kisses and sweeping declarations of love lies something far more tragic.
In The Notebook, Orpheus loses Eurydice twice.
First to the life she was meant to live.
And then slowly… to memory itself.
Through the lens of the ancient Orpheus and Eurydice myth, we explore love, class, memory, aging, dementia, and the quiet rituals people perform in order to keep the ones they love from disappearing completely.
Every time Noah reads from the notebook, he descends into the underworld hoping to bring Eurydice back one more time.
Welcome to Tale Oft Told.
A podcast about love, loss, and the stories we keep retelling.
