To My Dearest Jason,

Why would you betray me after all I did for you? I helped you retrieve the Golden Fleece and

defied my father in the process. I helped you escape my land by chopping up my brother and

throwing him all over the sea. I killed King Pelias, so you could possibly take the throne of his

kingdom and get revenge on him for taking your father’s life. I have killed King Creon, the

Princess, and the children because of you and your selfishness. And as I look back from the day

we met. What have you done for me? What have you done for the children? …Nothing.

Absolutely nothing and that’s all you will ever do for anyone. Six people feel pain because of

your life. To think I actually once loved you because this is your entire fault. You feel the need

to blame it upon others to cover up the guilt you have for yourself. Why must you walk proudly

among people who are more intelligent than yourself? Why must you create wrong doing and

twist it so you will not take the blame? These are the questions I have for you... You have yet to

get the justice of your terrible fate but for now I have only messed with your heart till then. I

killed your wife to get revenge on you. I know you were leaving me for her and I knew all along.

You can never fool me for I’m sure I’m much more intelligent than you. You have no chance to

face me because although I’m a woman and many feel we have no power, inside I have more

power that anyone in the world and you can never stop me. Have fun Jason.

Love forever,

Medea

My Deprived Medea,

I haven’t made you do anything. I didn’t force you to become what you have. This was

all you. You forced yourself upon me and I will not take the blame for it because I haven’t done

anything. I never asked you to betray your father. I didn’t make you kill your brother. I did want

to overrule King Pelias but I didn’t tell you to kill him for me so I could. I didn’t force you to kill

King Creon or the Princess or the children, that was all you hatred mind trying to drive me

insane. You can’t say I have done nothing for you because I made you my wife and gave you

your children who you decided to kill. You should be upset for hurting the children, taking your

useless anger out on them is a cruel thing to do and now we will both never get to see them

again. You have gone too far this time and for once hurt yourself in the process by killing the

children. You have no intelligence; I know this from your dim actions. Just because you helped

me a few times on your part doesn’t mean you can fix everything. You have no background, no

family, no husband hopefully your new start was pleasant because it will be a long road ahead.

My poor Medea, I pity your soul for you have lost your way, you have no one to turn to. I’m

sorry the result came to this tragic ending, but it’s the past now. I have almost forgotten and so

should you. Pray for the children for me. Keep their graves safe from harm and filled with

flowers. Please give them my love and affection. I will never forget them.

The one and only,

Jason
