1. Dear Jason,
There are so many things I wish I could say to you. I am
writing this letter to tell you how I feel about what has
happened. I’m sorry it had to happen this way but, it is all your
fault. I sacrificed my life, my children, and my happiness for you
and you left me for another woman. First, I defied my father by
marrying you. He never wanted me to marry you or even be
with you ever but I loved you. I ditched his whole life plan for
me and ruined my relationship with him just to be with you.
Also, I killed my own brother to stop him from coming after you
and the Argonauts. I chopped him into pieces and dumped him
in the ocean! All of this for your safety! Then once we were
safe at sea and we were headed towards the land of the
Golden Fleece I helped you when King Pelias tried to kill you. I
retrieved you out of jail and showed you where the Golden
Fleece was. I killed King Pelias when he was coming after you
and I might have gotten you kicked out of your homeland but
you didn’t care! Nobody there even wanted you because you
had left on this crazy journey in the first place. You should just
happy that I saved you.
When I heard that you were leaving me for a younger
princess I felt all of that love, devotion, dedication and every
good emotion I have ever felt to you seep out of my body and
were filled with hatred. You ruined my life, my happiness, our
children and our marriage! All because of your selfish needs! I
had to plan revenge on you for all of your wrong doings. You
may blame me for this but it is your entire fault! I decided that I
could poison your new lovely bride by charming her with a
beautiful gold gown and a hand-crafted crown to go along with
this ensemble. But I would not be foolish enough to give it to
her myself so I had our children give her the gift. She of course
fawned over the dress just as planned and I get no blame what
so ever. But when I heard that the king also died from the
poisoned dress while holding his daughter it was like icing on
the cake. I not only killed your bride but her father too! I knew
that my children would be highly punished for such a crime so I
murdered them to keep them at peace. It of course was also
nice to see your face when I told you of this and I buried them
far away from you and in a good place but you may not visit it
to morn. Just another plot to the plan of my revenge. In the
end, well everything worked out very well for me.

2. Dear Medea,
I am completely appalled by your letter and how up front
you are about all of those lies!! Why you did all of those
sacrifices for me I have no idea! I never asked you to! You just
always felt it was your duty to save me! I know I wouldn’t be
here today if it wasn’t for you but then I think I probably could
have saved myself! I mean I was chosen by Hera the queen of
the Gods to go out on one of the most dangerous journeys
known to man! And I can’t believe that you would kill so many
people for me! That’s not love that’s just you being crazy!
Especially when I heard about how much pleasure you got out
of the fact that you killed my newly married bride and her
father, I wanted to kill you! And then to cover up our poor,
beautiful, innocent children! How could you!? After you killed
them you then felt the need to take them somewhere where I
could never visit their grave in morn! You have ruined my life
for eternity and you will never be forgiven, by me or the Gods.
Don’t think just because you fled the land that you have fled
guilt. Guilt for your revenge will follow till your grave! I hope one
day the Gods will think of such a bad punishment for you you’ll
wish you were dead. I believe in karma and for all of those bad
deeds you have done you WILL have to pay! Our poor children!
If I new you would have ever done such a crazy, awful,
unthinkable thing I would have never had children with you!
Mothers are supposed to love their children! Love is something
you will never know! I’m sorry I ever met you.
-Jason
