Womens roles in Grecian tragedies are being egoistical and difficult characters whose only soil in the stories is to stir up dingy situations. Women do nonhing but suffer from misery and incident and because of their selfishness they bring others down with them. In almost all Greek tragedies men are the protagonists and the women are either the antagonist or the one that causes their husbands grief. The main woman in Greek tragedies is Helen of troy and she is the prime example of womens selfishness. She causes a war because she wants to be with person else. Three women that bring down others with their selfishness are Medea from Medea, Iocaste from Oedipus Rex, and Antigone from Antigone.
        This can be seen greatly in Medea. Medea takes her anger out on pot that her former husband, Jason, loves because she is angry that he left her. She is extremely selfish because some of the people she murders arent at all responsible for anything. on that point is some reason for her to be angry, but what she does is wrong. But dont think things will end as they are now. Trials are in so far to come for this wedded pair (Euripedes). Her misery makes her go paranoid and turn into a villain. She knows the horrible way she is turning when she says, I understand the horror of what I am going to do; but anger, the spring of all lifes horror, masters my resolve (Euripedes).
Her selfishness because of Jason leaving her is the reason she turns evil and for the murders of Jasons children, his new wife, and Creon. She is the only one of the three that very take anothers life by her hands.
                However, even though Iocaste does not kill anyone she is the reason for others...
Although i dont agree with its contents and the writers touch of women characters in Greek mythology, i still found it interesting. thither are syntax and errors, however, the writer was well organized.
