Jason and the Golden Fleece

Jason, a hero, was given the task of winning the golden fleece, which was guarded by a dragon and made of sheep skin. He was aided by past hero's, such as Hercules. The heroes that helped were called Argonauts and the Argonauts finally reached the location of the fleece. Medea distracted the Dragon and Jason got the fleece. You would think Medea and Jason's love story would be picture perfect but nope. Its tragic. Of course. Jason deserts Medea and Medea plots to kill him. Yay love.

It always seems like love leads to revenge. Because, in a lot of cases, love leads to tragedy and tragedy leads to the desperate need of revenge. Lets just look at Taylor Swift for example. I love my girl Taylor, but she seems to have a lot of "love stories." And by a lot, I mean 39574985 love stories with the most attractive men on the planet. And these love stories always turn tragic. Which always leads to revenge. In her case, revenge is writing a song about them. "We are never getting back together" is about Harry Styles, "Forever and Always" is about Joe Jonas, "Dear John" is about John Mayor and the list goes on and on. OK so basically what I'm trying to say is love stories always seem to turn into revenge stories. I cant help but ask myself, where is the love?
