Do you think that i can compare Eliza Doolittle with Medea???

They are completly different and from very different times is this going to be toooooo hard ??

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Technically, you could compare anything- but this one would be more of a "contrast" than "comparison" as, other than kind of broad character traits (they are strong willed, etc) they are 2 such hugely different characters. The fact that you don't really have parallels to go on with either circumstances or other characters (Jason and Higgins are not exactly hanging out at the same bar) will really hinder you. I would try doing maybe another more likely Greek heroine w/ Eliza- like Lysistrata- or another more modern heroine w/ Medea- like Hedda Gabler. I can see many more commonality since you have matched comedy to comedy and tragedy to tragedy, etc. and these women have many shared character traits.
