This assignment is for those who missed class due to religious holidays. It’s due 10/20 @9am.
In class, we have been talking about whether or not a case can be made in defense of Medea. It seems to me that Euripides goes to great lengths to make her a sympathetic character, although any accrued sympathy (for most people) vanishes the moment she slaughters her children.
In 300-500 words, using the text as evidence (a minimum of two quotations) explain how you might defend Medea or justify her rage. Explain how Euripides validates her claim to an act of revenge, and finally, think about whether or not this evidence mitigates her actual vengeance for you. If you say no, I’d like to know why you think her actions are so unforgivable.
As usual, MLA rules apply. It’s in verse, so quote the line numbers, and / to indicate a line break.
Professor Geddes,
I just checked my blog after the Jewish holiday and I saw that my first Medea post was not up. I did it last Friday and saw my post on my page. I do not want to be penalized for not doing this assignment because I did it on time. What could have happened to my post, has anybody had a problem like this other than myself and what can I do about this issue. Have a nice night.

Professor Geddes,
I am also having a problem seeing my Medea post and I had it done before it was due. Is there any way to get it back up on the blog site?
Thank You,
