"Women's Role"

I liked the beginning of this essay a lot! I love how she starts talking about a man who is divorced and looking for a new wife and how her essay began with how great wives are and how wonderful it would be to have one. This essay was well written in the persuasive sense because after reading it I felt like I wanted a wife! I mean how great would it be to have someone take care of the issues of your everyday life! I also enjoy the humor she used in the role of a wife, and how selfish she makes the role of a husband sound; " I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because of course, I cannot miss classes at school."
I think the essay is very funny but it is way over exaggerated. Most men, today at least, don't just sit around and let there wives do everything. In the 1930s it was the womens job to care for the children, the home, and they were expected to not complain.
The essay relates to Medea because these were some of the principles that women were expected to follow. She was expected to watch after the children and except the fact that Jason had moved on from her to marry someone of more noble blood. Medea was expected to just except this fact and move on, as expected of women in Syfers' story.
