JOURNAL RESPONSE

The discussion forum allowed you to explore both the biography of Margaret Garner and Toni Morrison’s fictionalized story that is based on Garner’s life as well Euripides’ play Medea.

The mothers in these texts engage in horrific acts that many label as evil. In the analytical journal, explore how the critical article “Filicide in Euripides’ Medea: A Biopoetic Approach,” and the three short videos complicate and challenge the impulse to label these two mothers evil.

Develop your position in a 2 to 4 page critical reflection. Remember to provide support by citing relevant passages from this week’s readings.
