Medusa

Medusa:

-bitter, self-pitying tone

-conveyed through description of relationship with "perfect man", how she has become so repulsive that he will leave her

-describes her own physical features deliberately, not trying to hide anything, feeling sorry for herself

-"Are you terrified? Be terrified" accepting her fate of being a monster

-"Wasn't I beautiful Wasn't I fragrant and young?

Look at me now." Challenging the reader to make the comparison between past and present, to sympathize with her

-short lines convey her detached and bitter description of her current state

-no fancy language, nothing worth embellishing about herself
