Euripides was accused by his contempories of being a woman hater. Why do you call up this was so, and how reassert do you think the accusation was?Question--------Euripides was accused by his contempories of being a woman hater. Whydo you think this was so, and how justified do you think theaccusation was? In your answer you should con officer not only howEuripides portrays his female characters, but also the sentimentsexpressed in the plays and the contempory view of women.Answer------Euripides definitely had an judicial decision on woman that was not shared bym both other play writes. Whether it is hatred or not, women play amajor role in a Euripian play. Their role in society of that time wasa great contrast to that of the men. Compared to today, women weremiles apart from men they were not even considered citizens of theirregion.This is unambiguous in the let loose where in the Electra, Medea andHippolytus there is a chorus of women. This was un comprehend of in the timewhen the plays were written. A chorus is typically made up of wise menof Athens, consequently making it up of women would in that age, be verycontroversial. In Medea the chorus side with her and Medea makes thechorus swear to silence. Therefore she can confide in them withouthaving to intrust a face on. The image put across here is that the womanteam up against the man. The chorus being women, side with thefeminist Medea. I heard her sobbing and wailing, the chorus talkabout the true Medea that is inscrutable under her facade.The same is true in the Electra. The chorus is made up ofcountry-women of Mycenae, who also side with Electra. When Electramoans about not having a gown or riches to go out and enjoy herself,the chorus offer a way out. Borrow from me a lovely gown, closelywoven, and a gold necklace. The women are on her side, they try topersuade her to be like all the other women and go out partying.Electra wants none of this and aims to gain more self-pity by forcingherself to stay at home, doing all the work. Euripides writes her tobe an attention seeking noble woman, who has married the peasant tomake a statement. not the most likeable of characters.In the Hippolytus, there are two choruses. One made up of huntsmen whofollow Hippolytus and the other of women from Trozen. They supportwhat they represent. This shows a contrast ... ...My boy, the imprecation you gave me,youll never break that? The Nurse whines to Hippolytus hoping to gether own way. Oh, I clasp your knees and beg you, The Nursesstubbornness to try and please ends up leading to Phaedra dyingwithout honour.Euripides begins his plays oftentimes with erratic women, ie Electra, Medeaand Phaedra. They have serious issues and seek vengeance, with theexception of Phaedra who is the cause of a vengeful attack Theseuskilling his son, Hippolytus. There are never any heroic women or womenthat we feel sympathy for. The only woman who is in the slightest wayvictimised is Clytemnestra. Electra murders her in revenge for killingher arrive Agamemnon. This is made obvious in the play andClytemnestras bad relationship with her daughter Electra does notshow her in a good light. We feel sympathy for the self-inflictedwidow, when she describes what she has gone through. Then her fathercut her soft white throat-My Iphigenia. Out of all of Euripidesfemale characters, she contains the most sentiment and emotion. Insummary, apart from Clytemnestra, the lady characters are madpsychopathic women, with hidden depths, morals and loyalties.
