To My Dearest Jason,

Why would you betray me after all I have done for you? I helped you retrieve the Golden

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

my brother and throwing him all over the sea. I have killed King Pelias, so you could possibly

take the thrown 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. I have hurt too

many people because of you, and helped you to many times to tolerate. 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. You can’t even stay with me after

all I did for you, after everything. Six people feel pain because of your life. You cannot and will

not ever get the best of me again. To think I actually once loved you, when your selfishness has

done nothing for nobody. I don’t understand why it is so hard for you to get my anger. This is all

your fault and you feel the need to blame it upon others to cover up the guilt you have for

yourself. Why must you find yourself so much better than others when you are below the

average person? 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... Where is the punishment with your wrong doings? You have

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

I have killed your wife to get revenge on you. I am not an idiot. I know you were leaving me for

her and I knew all along. You can never fool me for I am sure I am much more intelligent than

you. You have no chance to face me because although I am 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 have not made you do anything. I did not 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 have not done

anything. I never asked you to betray your father; you are the one who came to me. I did not

make you kill your brother, which was your plan for us to could get away. I did want to overrule

King Pelias but I did not 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 by stabbing their little hearts. I don’t see why you think I am doing all

these things to you, because I am not. I haven’t done anything to make you feel so upset and I

told you that I was only marrying the Princess to help our family. We could barely put food on

the table. You should be hurt 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

not mean you can fix everything and now you have nothing. 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, and

blame anyone you can. I am sorry the result came to this tragic ending, but it is the past now. I

have almost forgotten and so should you. Pray for the children for me since you may not let 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
