Medusa

On one hand, we have the poem ‘Medusa’ by Carol Ann Duffy, in a dramatic monologue based on a mythical creature, Medusa, whose insecurity and jealousy leads her to believe that her husband is cheating on her. Consequently, she turns into a gorgon who turns anything she looks at to stone. On the other hand ,we have ‘Les Grandes Seigneurs’ by Dorothy Molloy which is about an aggrandized woman’s romantic relationship with men there to entertain her and to support her self-aggrandizement. However,…

The top of the raft the people are waving clothes as if to call for help and they are standing and looking hopeful. The painting is dominated by cool colors, mostly dark and stormy. The light is being shined on the raft…

“The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector was a very exiting reading because it oddly portrayed spiritual rebirth.

It is though that G.H.’s entire life is very structured, planned, and…

men like!" and we all feel an immediate, if secret interest in the woman so referred to. Men are the rulers of the world, and to please them is our aim and desire. Often, however, their tastes are so paradoxical that it would require a seven headed Medusa to respond to all their varied and contradictory ideas.

In times of trouble when soldiers and warriors came to kill Medusa in her lair while she was sleeping, the Hydra would attack and kill them, with mighty swipes of her tail and with he poison in her fangs. The Hydra did this for Medusa for hundreds of years, traveling with her to visit Pandora and Aphrodite and protect the three girls while they caught up in the sanctuary of their homes, protecting Medusa in while she slept, showered, ate, wrote, and researched if it was possible to…

I Ain’t Afraid of No Curse Throughout the Colloquium Monstrorum, I noticed connections between a few of the different monsters. Specifically, connections between the Baba Yaga, the Wendigo, the Werewolf, and Medusa. The monsters exhibit individual connections of female power, european origin, witchcraft, the devil, and cannibalism, but overall, they all share the common qualities of being cursed, their unattractiveness, and being human. While many monsters lectured about during the Colloquium…
