Murasaki and Medea

Murasaki and Medea Musashi Kikibu 's "Genji Monogatari" is scheduled in Japan in the latter half of the 10th century, but the plight of the characters is universal. In Chapter 12, Genji exiled as he left a wife named after the writer. Like Euripides' Medea of ​​the same name, Muraskai loves Genji very much. Her husband Jason suffered because she gave up her princess. Shikibu and Euripides seem to share the same world view of emotional dependence on women 's spouse.

Medea of ​​Euripides and Medea of ​​Seneca are Medea's two surviving ancient tragedies. There are significant differences and contrasts in these two versions in several ways. Euripides depicted Medea as a more human figure. She is a synonym of a suppressed housewife who can only commit a crime committed after suffering. Seneca's Medea is revening more than Euripides, she was angry from the start. The Seneca version also draws Medea as a revenge witch, in the Euripides version it is known as a witch and has a great skill with poison and potion, but it is not like the beauty of Seneca. Dea is equally important and important. The two poets provided a clear depiction and personality of Medea. The most striking of them was the depiction of Medea himself and the action of the Choir against her.

Is Medea a feminist? The tragic interpretation of Euripides on the myth of Medea was originally created in 431 BC. His story is different from Jason's classic myth of Medea. It is the position of an ancient Greek woman, as he is paying more attention to Medea himself. Some people believe that Euripides Medea scrutinizes the injustice of the patriarchal Greek society of the time, but others believe Euripides is drawing a woman as a disgusting woman. The fact that Euripides chose Medea to kill the baby is decisive for this discussion and will be mentioned later but first it is decided whether Medea can be considered a feminist In order to do so, we must first define feminism. That meaning Goodman realized that there are three important problems in defining something as a feminist, close to literature, with book literature and gender.

Medea and Lysistrata Medea and Lysistrata are two Greek literature representing the power of women to despise gender inequality. In Medea, Medea is fighting with her disliking husband, Jason. On the other hand, in Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the main character Lysistrata is planning to convince and organize women to protest against male stubbornness. In defining the purpose of the two documents, it is clear that the characters created by Europeans and Aristophanes display resistance to male domination in society.
