overreacting
you deserve it more, you should try to reclaim the role
You can only vote on one answer.
so. a completely different story with the same characters as the other one i posted, May and Jake.
As i've said before, Jake is a reallllly nice guy and it feels like we've known each other for forever. On the other hand, me and May, with whom i have been friends for a decade, are slowly drifting apart
We are all in a theatrical program. Idk if you know the ancient greek tragedy, Antigone. We are meant to perform something very similar at a national competition, just more to our times than to then.
Both me and May really wanted the role of Antigone for the play. (Antigone is a girl who goes against the law to bury, or in our case, defend, her brother [who in our case is the love interest, not the brother.])
We agreed to do a mini audition for our third friend to decide. I was the only one who actually auditioned, and May NEVER did something for the role. So it had not been decided who was going to be Antigone by our friend. Even though I really put a lot of effort to appear nice for the role, May never auditioned, so my efforts went to waste. Anyways.
Today, we discussed about the play with the "director's helper" or else the teacher. Of course, Jake was going to be the person who gets killed (probably the love interest too) and is defended by Antigone. The teacher casually announced that May has lowkey been discussed about getting the role of Antigone, so i suppose that it means she's Antigone and i'm Ismene.
The thing is, with the script, i think i could NEVER be Ismene, since she's reluctant about the law and stuff but i would never care about such law, continuing to do what is meant to be done. That would be what Antigone would do. And still, May got the role. Also, May can't interact with Jake without disagreeing woth him, while i have been told that me and Jake look like a couple multiple times. This means that even if i could pull the being in love for the part, May still got what I deserved.
I know that directors are supposed to know better about what personality suits the role better, but they didn't even test us to see who actually was better, not looked better.
I'm jealous because May got the role without trying, while I tried hard to get it and got the role I hated most of all.
Do you think I'm right in being devastated and a little cold for not getting the role, or am I overreacting and both of us deserved the rooe equally?
Also, how do you cope with not getting the role?? bc my day is ruined lol
