It's just that she doesn't object to killing people. She doesn't want to murder her children, but she wants revenge more.<br /><br />Nope, never seen the movie! I did see a live performance of Hecuba once with Olympia Dukakis though!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-31988447618844921232012-08-28T13:02:39.949-07:002012-08-28T13:02:39.949-07:00Did you see the artsy movie about Medea from the 1...Did you see the artsy movie about Medea from the 1960s?

It's a fairly slender volume, by Christa Wolf, a German writer who died last year, and whose work I always enjoy.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.com
