Medea is responsible for her actions.

1. In that case, I agree with your definition of anger. Anger has to do with someone feeling like they have been wronged or victimized. That is what sparks the anger. A person feels like they had have something wrong done to them by someone else or a group of other people. 3. I partially agree with your statement. Anger is an emotion that humans are capable of having but it it not something that we learn to control as we grow older because not all adults learn to control their anger as they get older. Some people are never mature enough to control their anger. As Seneca believed, to stop anger, you have to stop having expectations for someone to behave a certain way. If you don"t have any expectations, no one will destroy your hopes and you won"t be angered. However, not everyone is capable of not having hopes, because as humans, we all naturally tend to have hopes for something or someone. Medea was a person, who also could not control her urge to have hopes. She had hopes for her children to grow up to be a certain way and do certain things for her. She wanted them to take care of her how she had taken care of them, but was disappointed to learnt they would not be doing that. So she had to kill them out of anger. 4. I agree with your statement. I believe you are saying that anger only comes with negative feelings and no positive ones, such as happiness. Anger is usually accompanied by a feeling of resentment towards someone, which would be a negative feeling. Anger might also cause someone to plan out a revenge to get the other person back. 6. I am not sure what you are saying in this statement. I do agree with your definition of slight. However, how can you infer that Medea was depressed from the text? She might have been hurt and feeling sad, but those are feelings that everyone is capable of at times to times. You do not have to be depressed to feel this way. 7. It is possible that Medea knew she was doing something wrong but that still does not make it entirely her fault. If she could have controlled her anger, she would have stopped from doing wrong and killing her children. However, she also had wrong done to her and that is why she reacted in such a way. The anger was building up inside of her and she could not control it anymore. Even if she did know it was wrong. 9. Medea could have been contemplating about what she wanted to do with her children because she didn"t have a special bond with her children. If she had a special bond with her kids, she would have never even thought about harming them. She obviously didn"t have a special bond with her children. The thought on abortion, adopted kids look for their biological parents because they need closure. They want to know why their mom or dad left them. They feel unloved because someone gave them up so they want to know why someone gave them up. I don"t agree with you saying "every human mother." Not all mothers have a bond with their kids. The cold and unemotional side of them counts. 11. I am not sure what you mean by "self sushi." I am guessing that is a typo. Children or not, most kids take their mothers for granted. Even adults act this way towards their mother. No matter how much their mother does for them, they are always ungrateful. They are always critical, "It should be better, bigger, or greater." They ask for things they don"t deserve from their parents and they are always unappreciative. Medea"s children were the same way with Medea. A mother cannot wait until her kids become parents to be appreciated. Most mother do wait, but not all are capable of that type of patience. Medea might have been selfish in what they did but her kids were selfish too.
