Comparing the Themes Present Between the Thousand and One Nights and Medea
Literature is the key to our world or language. Many authors have used literature to reflect what is happening in our societies through their works. This essay will be comparing Medea and the Thousand and One Night. The Thousand and One Nights and Medea authors have shown us the communities where women are undermined and treated unjustly for different reasons. It gives us the reason to summarize and analyses these two books as we compare and find out what both authors are enlighting us. This essay will show how both women in the relevant books play an essential role in solving problems facing them and the community. Though there are points that differ in each book and there are those that are alike. The main characters in both books are women; while solving problems, they use different tactics and methods. The Thousand and One Nights and Medea are similar by indicating how women are unjustly treated in the community. In contrast, the films are dissimilar in their themes and nature of play.
The cost of that retaliation takes in either Medea and The Thousand- and One-Nights damage to several individualities and out-turns the harm of several lives. The reason for avenging somebody for doing erroneous depicts that this was a communal way of looking for fairness during the antique era (Easteal et al. 110). Through the literary works of these authors, it is evident that gender takes part in a critical function in how someone goes around in search of reprisal on their selected targets. Medea, the chief persona in Medea, is a very intelligent and cunning lady who uses her intelligence to pursue vengeance against her spouse Jason after leaving her for another female, Glauce. Medea says, "Through being considered clever, I have suffered much" (line 693). It is depicted that Medea has faced what she is certain of is definitive disloyalty.
All of her movements all over the play are driven by this solo performance. Medea justifies all of the terrible wrongdoings she committed because women are mistreated in this creation. She asserts that womenfolk experience very much, and looking for revenge against Jason is nothing equivalent to what females pass through daily (Puchner et al., 463). She asserts that "women are afflicted with the most wretched existence on earth because while men are free to divorce and remarry at whim" (lines 213-261). She further declares that "women can do nothing but still suffer the consequences of male decisions" (lines 213-261). Even though Medea is defensible in her doings, she goes to life-threatening lengths to seek retribution on Jason, murdering everyone Jason loves and cares for, counting her broods.
Similarly, in The Thousand and One Nights, payback is also carried on by the infidelity of a loved one. King Shahrayar is "driven mad by his wife's infidelity" (Mardrus et al. 1567). King Shahrayar's extreme anger and passion drive him to murder his disloyal wife and courtesans and a new female each morning after he sleeps with them lessening his territory night by Night (Mardrus et al. 50). We see extreme measures taken by characters in avenging those who wronged them. In Medea, E...
