Festival; or what you will
The Green World vs. The Real World. It may be safe to say that in 12th, Illyira is all Green World, but in something like M.O.V. it would be Venice vs. Belmont. And maybe this isn't totally fair to Frye, because his categorization of G.W.(not George W.) is the maternal world, the forest of fertility, the forest of the imagination. The G.W. is best illustrated in Midsummer's..., where the forested world of fairies reigns.
Dr. Sexson talked about "communion" in seasonal plays, "Baptisimal" episodes of Will's plays that find the characters emerging from the G.W. into the real world with a new sense of purpose. Remember, "eating the bear is like eating the god." This G.W. is reminiscent of the Garden chapter in Frye's, "Words with Power". The world of possibility and sacred moments only exists in the world without time. Where time is in the now, in dance, in music. Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm watching the Olympics right now too. Well, all for now.
Remember from 12th Night, "a natural perspective that is and is not."
Cheers!
