Being one day abroad with my protector the sorrel nag, and the weather exceeding hot, I entreated him to let me bathe in a river that was near. He consented, and I immediately stripped myself stark naked, and went down softly into the stream. It happened that a young female YAHOO, standing behind a bank, saw the whole proceeding, and inflamed by desire, as the nag and I conjectured, came running with all speed, and leaped into the water, within five yards of the place where I bathed. I was never in my life so terribly frightened. The nag was grazing at some distance, not suspecting any harm. She embraced me after a most fulsome manner. I roared as loud as I could, and the nag came galloping towards me, whereupon she quitted her grasp, with the utmost reluctancy, and leaped upon the opposite bank, where she stood gazing and howling all the time I was putting on my clothes. This was a matter of diversion to my master and his family, as well as of mortification to myself. For now I could no longer deny that I was a real YAHOO in every limb and feature, since the females had a natural propensity to me, as one of their own species. Neither was the hair of this brute of a red color (which might have been some excuse for an appetite a little irregular), but black as a sole, and her countenance did not make an appearance altogether so hideous as the rest of her kind; for I think she could not be above eleven years old.

Medea Discussion Questions. Answer the following two questions below. No book or any other resources are allowed–just you and your brain. No phones, no other sources, no plagiarism, no AI–nothing except what you know. Answer each question in at least at 10-12 sentence paragraph. That means you will have two 10-12 sentence paragraphs. Be as specific as possible even though you cannot view the book or any other resources. You have one hour, though you do not have to take the entire time.  In Medea’s first long speech to the chorus, she claims that women are afflicted with the most “wretched” existence on earth. In exactly what ways, according to Medea, is the lot of women unfair? Do the complaints of Medea seem legitimate? How is gender explored in the play? Does Medea emerge as a champion of women’s plight? In light of your answer, what do you think about the accusation of misogyny sometimes aimed at Euripides? Give specific examples–obviously you cannot quote chapter and verse, as it were, because you cannot use your book, but you should be familiar enough with the play to give some specific examples and not be overly general.  Explain the role of Medea as one of a tragic hero.
