Emotion vs Logic (Euripides Medea & The Complete Fairy Tales of the Broth
Use Euripides Medea, and 2 fairy tales from the Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm:
“The Wold and the Seven Young Kids”
“Little Red Cap”
“Faithful Johannes”
“The Twelve Brothers”
“Brother and Sister”
“Hansel and Gretel”
“Cinderella”
“The Juniper Tree”
to extend the concept of fidelity to the concept between (logic and emotion). In what ways do Jason and Medea alternate between the two, and what method of fidelity does the play advocate for in the end? In short, which model of fidelity is most ethical in relation to maintaining domestic stability?
I already have a thesis. Here is the thesis:
Euripides’s play Medea suggests that emotion can lead to irrationality, and logic can disregard emotion; however, to genuinely show fidelity to the family you must establish a balance between the two because emotion can help you commit to relationships while logic helps you rein in the negative feelings to control your impulsivity.
