Medea: Love Of Homeland And Family
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The relationship between love of homeland and love of family in "Medea" becomes as conflicting as does the relationship between the primary characters. However, this struggle to choose between person and place is not limited to just these two characters, but rather is apparent with nearly all of the characters who have speaking parts. Indicative of the play's inherent quest for balance between both entities, the writer discusses how it becomes clear that there is not room to accommodate one with the other, which forces the characters to sometimes make difficult decisions. No additional sources cited.

Milton - you ol' Romantic! (description of Eve -
Book 4)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) It is a sad thing that we feel that we
cannot deal with ancient or medieval literature.
It will be too hard, we whine. I will not
understand it, we complain, and give ourselves an
excuse, to not even try. Milton is speaking of
true innocence of thought and body to give us an
idea of what Paradise must have been like. If we
have no idea of 'how it was,' how will we ever be
able to find it?
