Medea Journal #2

Both Jason and Medea's interaction between the gods is different from each other. While Medea has a closer relationship with the gods and instead of praying, asks for favors, Jason on the other hand, treats the gods like servants hopes for them to help him throughout his life. Although Jason doesn't have a very close relationship with the gods, he stillhas control over his life.

Jason

"Zeus, do you hear how I'm at bay,..."(77;1405)-- Jason calls Zeus and expects him to do something to punish Medea. He just outright begs Zeus to come up with something.

"[...] the gods have released the fiend in you on me" (1333) Looks as if Jason is blaming the gods for his unfavorable circumstances.

Medea

"Zeus the Father knows exactly what you got from me and how you then behaved."(1352-1353). This shows how Medea personally knows the gods and that Zeus, who is the like the main ruler of the gods, knows that Jason has and how Jason has betrayed her.

"Oh Zeus and lady daughter, Justice, / O resplendent Sun! And you my friends" (764-765) Looks as if Medea seems to treat the gods as more of her friends than anything else, also by how she includes them into her secret plans.
