I guess the reason is that the answer did not come directly to me. Anyway, I wish I had read the book myself; I would have better appreciated your answer and reasons for identifying with this character. Are you talking about fighting to change things in society or just working hard to get through with your degree for example? Anyway, you look like a tough kind of person(compliment). Would you also identify with the CHE? I think I like the Marti type you know, not Dario. Marti, for his committment to the people. A poet, if he is gifted, should not separate himself from the people; he should be the voice of the voiceless. I thought the modernistas hated materialism because it encourages the exploitation of the people and other cultures, but it looks like they saw materialism as an obstacle to the expansion of their Art for Art stuff. Is that right? Hey “Medea”

This is a women that did not accept her fate. She was determined to fight back. I grant you that I disagree with the way she did it, but its nice to see a women who would challange authority. I like to think I can identify with Medea in the manner that she is determined to get what she wants. People should not settle, I like to think of myself as someone who strives to reach her goals. Thanks, for your comments. citlali VJ, you asked me why I find the tragedy, Medea, or tragedies so fascinating? This is a women that did not accept her fate. She was determined to fight back.

I have also found it fascinating that at least some women stood out as scholars in those times, too, albeit, in most cases, due to advantages afforded them by their social standing.
