Socratic Seminar Questions (Medea)

Socratic Seminar Questions 1. Do you call Medea shouldve let the children zippy? If so, who do you think she wouldve chosen and why? If not, why do you think Medea killed the children? I think it was right for Medea to kill the children. The children ar a wargon during Medea and Jasons relationship. Since Medea feels like Jason betrayed and tainted their relationship, she feels like letting the children not hold up is like destroying every last remnant of their relationship.She also feels that killing the children would penalize Jason and as a mother, she doesnt deficiency anyone else to harm her own children, so she kills them as a sacrifice. Personally, it was a dour scene of killing the children, just now if it had a hidden tenability into killing the children. 2. What argon some major complaints Medea pleas ab step forward the treat manpowert of women? Do you think women around the world are still facing these problems? Some of the major complaints Medea pleas about a re that women chamberpotnot correct marriage because of the everywhere dominance of men that women dont overhear the power to reject or deny marriage.I believe not only Greece, but other countries around the whole world face the over dominance of men over women. Another complaint Medea invokes is how women are bought and interchange by men. Women werent slaves back in Greece but Medea emphasizes the point that women are treated like property, being bought and sold. In the present world, there are very few or not even any countries that cuckold women but are treated like slaves, having limited rights than men. Lastly, she points out women are the most unfortunate creatures. I think the hidden message Euripides is explaining is the poisonous state of females in Greece.I think that there are still countries worldwide, facing the same situations Medea points out to the readers. In addition, I think Euripides insufficiencys readers to sympathize the state of women and how theyre treated. 3. What do you think is the difference between justice and visit? Did Medea achieve justice or revenge? Why? There is a key difference between the definition of justice and revenge. Justice I think brings termination, an end to something, while revenge results in personalised felicity and pleasure. Another key difference between both is that justice is what should be done while revenge is what you believe should be done.To sum everything up, justice is selfless and revenge is selfish. I think Medea achieved more of revenge because it was her personal satisfaction and plotting out, punishing Jason for his wrongdoings. In addition, her crave for revenge adulterates her life and her proclivity for revenge makes her a merciless character. 4. What ways does Medea bring her banishment on herself? There are many another(prenominal) signs of how Medea creates banishment for herself. She made herself an exile out of love, leaving her land and killing her father and brother to help Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. Ironically thought, his betrayal leads her into banishment once more.During many scenes in the play, Medea expresses deep anguish as making herself an exile. She seems especially rueful about leaving home and killing her father. This distance from Medea to her father is credibly the worst feeling of exile she has to withstand. 5. If all people are created equal, indeed why do you think men have more spot than women according to Medea? One reason I think men would want more authority than women is men want to feel powerful themselves and they want a feel of playing a crucial role to fraternity or a matriarch in a family by obtaining power.Another reason men have more authority than women is how much ram they heap take. Yes, women are smart and have intelligence, but the main problem is that women cant take as much criticism or types of pressure as men can. That could be why men are for the most part leaders of countries, they can take more pressure from society or media than women can. Lastly, I think men have more authority than women is because men are more recognized in creativity. Microsoft, Apple, Google and YouTube are examples of technological inventions by men. Men feel more recognized into their creativity.
