I trace feminism’s development of, and increasingly complex engagement with, the definition of Woman as subject. ![]() To begin this journey, I turn to feminist theory as a principle space for the examination of the question of Woman. ![]() For woman, the question ‘Who am I’ has been obscured by the more pressing question, ‘Who is woman?’ This thesis sets out to find and follow woman as hero and in so doing, to explore woman’s evolving socio-cultural and psychological relationship with what it is to be human. This thesis takes the hero’s journey as motif and metaphor for the exploration of subjectivity, and explores the manner in which woman’s journey as hero has been marginalised. ‘Who am I?’ is the central question of the hero’s journey. ![]()

Interpreters, beginning with the chorus, are of course tempted into finding explanations. Nowhere else in Euripidean tragedy is there a greater gulf between a major character's rational justification for a course of action (Medea's revenge) and the emotional impact of that action when it unfolds on the stage (her murder of her young children).

When Jason landed to conquer the Golden Fleece, Medea left everything to follow him. ![]() I must say that the writing and the place of the womens choir help us. In the Medea, as in the Bacchae, Euripides makes us confront the darkest possibilities of human behavior and no literary criticism can do full justice to the spectacle of violence that, as the chorus says, takes the form that is hardest to comprehend, a mother turning murderously upon her own children. I found Euripides 'Medea' text relatively easy to read for an ancient Greek tragedy. ![]() ![]() ![]() They'll stop at nothing to capture Richard St. The thing is, the US government doesn't believe he's really dead.

Summer Soultice is coming and the Vours will be able to enter humans and prey on their fears. ![]() No longer are they limited to attacking only in the winter. Reggie fears the Vours are planning more evil. From what I have read in other reviews the background has been established in the first book so this one jumps right into the action. While I obviously missed out on the background information provided earlier I still was able to follow along in Soultice easily enough.

The battle against evil continues in Soulstice, the second book in the thrilling The Devouring series.

It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice. ![]() |
