First Blogging Assignment: Esch and Medea
DO NOT comment on this post. Instead, create your own NEW POST!
Esch is reading Edith Hamilton’s Mythology for her summer reading, and she continually makes references to the story of Medea. After reading Hamilton’s telling of “The Golden Fleece” and poring through Ward’s novel, choose a moment in the novel when Ward draws a connection between Esch and Medea either implicitly or explicitly. Include the passage from the novel and explain why you think this mythological allusion is important at that point in the text. What does the allusion reveal about character, setting, central themes?
Find an artistic depiction of Jason and/or Medea and include it in your post, providing a description of what the piece is and who created it. Give as much information as you can.
Post another image in the post that you think best symbolizes Esch by the end of the novel and provide a description of why.
