Oedipus Vs Medea

Jason returns the favor by ditching her in order to marry a princess. Medea is upset with Jason considering he swore a marriage by oath, basically meaning that he violated an oath sworn by the head of the Gods. She treats her husband like a hero and in return gets treated like dirt. Medea decides to do something that will truly get back at Jason, killing their children. Although Medea’s actions are not completely justified, they can be made more sympathetic by looking at her emotions and envy her husband caused her after all she did

Medea betrays Jason by recognizing his yearning for a wife that is respectful and regretful. Her false articulation of accommodation to Jason, her admission that she was a stupid passionate lady, baits him to his fate. "I talked things over with myself, she lets him know, "and rebuked myself bitterly". "Why do I act like a mad women ? … What you did was best for me… I confess I was full od bad thoughts". Medea realizes that her most best approach to cover up her motives processes and execute she will likely put on a show to be pretend to be submissive. It works. Jason is duped, he feels that she has changed and moved toward becoming "sensible", that is receives Jason's views and

Leaders are the central figures in a team, and they are attributed to the largest share of blame or praise depending on the performance. New leaders in an organization are faced with many challenges on how to start making an impact and successfully lead the subordinates on the set mission. According to Kangas (2013), the key element for a new leader is to establish interpersonal links and relationships that are necessary for learning about the organization. The success of the leader and the organization as a team depends on the quality of interpersonal relationships that develop to help the leader in implementing their mission. Additionally, the influence of leaders over their followers is largely founded on the interpersonal relationship as members of a team (Kangas, 2013). Another major source of challenge for leaders in organizations is the implementation of changes that affect the existing relationships and roles in major operations. BBBSA demonstrates the challenges that can arise for new leaders in organizations in implementing changes and the effectiveness of the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory in addressing leadership issues.

In the beginning on the play it was shown that Medea was so much hurt because of her husband’s second marriage that she wanted to kill her. She also begged to god to have a lightning to split her head but after thinking about the incident with all of her cleverness she thought it will not be worth dying, but making Jason and his newly wedded wife suffer will do her some justice and let her die in peace. She also wants Jason’s wife’s father Creon to suffer as he a banded her from her own country. She changed her plan of suicide to killing Jason’s wife so she can take revenge from both her husband and Jason’s father-in-law. She made a nice plan of giving a dress to newly wedded wife as a gift from her and also tell her to accept her children,

Jason was just tired of her. However, he got a great opportunity for love. He wouldn’t have to deal with Medea’s insults and temper. In addition, he could be the king and take care of his children without any troubles. Although Medea would be understandably hurt and angry, her response was so extreme it was nearly

Rejection from her husband and banishment from the King leaves Medea at the bottom of the hierarchy. Her life spins out of control, and she believes the answer to be revenge. She gave Jason power by committing murder when she helped him escape. Now that he abused that gift, Medea is blinded by desperation. She expresses her rage by saying “Things have gone badly every way.

Moreover, Euripides incorporates Medea into the relationship to convey the idea that females also possess power in an alliance, but the form of their authority is different compared to that of a male’s. Medea elucidates that even in arduous times, she assists Jason and supports their marriage. In a direct conversation with Jason, she tells him, “…after I’ve done all this to help you, you brute, you betray me…” (27). She explains that although she took care of Jason and supported him whenever he needed her help, he disabuses his power to overpower her and abandon her. Even after Jason abandons Medea, she thinks day and night of him. Medea demonstrates that the power females possess is not physical and totalitarian like the males, but rather is emotional and mental. She tries to keep the family together and in trying to do so, she does whatever Jason asks her to do. She is the important woman behind every successful man. Without her command, Jason would not be the person he is. Therefore, she can destroy Jason whenever she desires with her power. She can be a femme fatale and reduce Jason’s life to rubbles. Similarly, after Medea finds out that she is being cheated on, she quickly creates a malicious plan to obliterate Jason. She assassinates his new wife and his heirs. Although her love is “greater than

Soon after this, Medea is able to manipulate Creon as well. When Creon banishes her, she tells him of her great concern for her children and eventually convinces him to allow her to stay in Corinth for one more day. This allows Medea to continue with her plan to take out revenge on Jason. Medea acts and speaks like a Homeric Greek warrior, but tricks Jason by acting submissively like the ideal Greek woman Jason wished her to be. Medea approaches Jason with gifts for his new wife, apologizes, and tells him that she realized he was right. This move allowed Medea to remove all skepticism from Jason's mind, and he willingly took the poisoned dress to his bride. In the course of a few hours, Medea's ultimate manipulation skills enable her to exploit four individuals who are crucial to her murder plot.

Then here comes along Jason, ready to save her from this seemingly eternal hell. Naturally, Medea sees him as her savior, so in return she thinks very highly of him. But when he cheats, it seems like Medea is overreacting; as if her world is falling apart. When in reality, it is. Her husband has seemingly left her, she’s an exile, and she has nowhere to go.

Moreover, Euripides incorporates Medea into the relationship to convey the idea that females also possess a dominant role in the struggle over dominance, but their power form is different compared to males. Medea elucidates that even in the arduous times, she assisted Jason and supported their union. In a direct conversation with Jason, she tells him, “…after I’ve done all this to help you, you brute, you betray me…” (27). She explains that although she took care of Jason and supported him whenever he needed her help, he used his massive quantity of power to overpower her and abandon her. Even after Jason abandons Medea, she thinks day and night of him. Medea demonstrates that the power females possess is not physical and totalitarian like the males, but is emotional and mental. She tries to keep the family together and in trying to do so, she does whatever Jason asks her to do. She is the important woman behind every successful man. Without her command, Jason would not be the person he is. Therefore, she can destroy Jason whenever he desires with her power. She can be a femme fatale and reduce Jason’s life into rubble. Similarly, after Medea finds out she was being cheated on, she quickly creates and evil plan and destroys Jason. She murders his new

Medea was a troubled soul once Jason left her for a younger princess. When the nurse says “Rulers are fierce in their temperament; somehow, they will not be governed;”, it rings very true of Medea (Puchner 531). Someone so accustomed to getting her way will by no means let anyone, including her beloved Jason, treat her with any disrespect. She not only felt dejected by Jason, but she felt she could do nothing to change her circumstance but take out deadly vengeance against those that committed such a hiatus act towards her. With all things considered, Medea felt Jason took everything from her when he left. Jason became her everything. When she

<br>Medea seeks vengeance with the same forceful determination to rectify the situation as a man would. A woman seeking revenge challenges society's view of women as weak and passive. Medea will go to great lengths to hurt Jason for the wrongs he has done to her.

From the beginning of the play the conflict between good and bad where Medea and Jason are concerned has been ambiguous. Both characters have done terrible things in order to attain what they want. Nothing could stand in the way of them including Medea’s father, whom Medea betrayed and to pile on the grieve she kills her brother and drops parts of him into the sea so as to delay her father thereby ensuring that Jason and his Argonauts could fulfil their quest to attain the Golden Fleece. When Jason betrays Medea and walks away from their marriage we immediately identify him as the villain, yet the reader fails to understand that during that time when this play was written it was still socially acceptable for the man to walk away from his marriage provided he gives back the dowry he attained from the wife’s father. In this case Medea did not bring any such items so it was even easier for him to leave her so as to empower himself. It was Medea’s role as a woman belonging to that age to accept Jason’s decision however she feels betrayed that he would break a vow made in front of the gods, and apparently she was not a regular woman even by the standards of that time as she had an intellect that could rival that of scholarly men. So to exact her revenge she destroys everything Jason loves leaving him to regret ever betraying the marriage.

In the tragedy Medea, Jason is faced with realization of the death of his twin sons who were killed by their, mother, Medea; he falls into agony as he laments, inspiring a katharsis in the reader. Jason cheated on Medea, assuming that it was okay with her, saying, “…I/ Grew tired of your bed and felt the need for a new bride” (18). Jason desired a bride of title so that his current children and future children could be brought up “worthily” (26). He betrayed his family and Medea’s love for another woman, causing Medea began to seek revenge. She decides to do two acts: kill her husband’s fiancée and kill her own sons. “…I shall kill my own children. /My children, there is none who can give them safety,” Medea expresses, as she plots her plan (26). Jason is unaware of this act that his wife is ready to commit. No longer does he have a fiancée, but now he has lost his heirs to the kingdom. The tragic act occurring among family members, happens in Medea, which was highlighted in Poetics. The death of Medea and Jason’s sons leads to Jason’s

In the beginning of the story, the audience is led to view Medea as a heartbroken and helpless woman who was just abandoned by her husband, Jason. Her nurse points out that Medea’s love for Jason was beyond compare, but now that he left her, “She lies without food and gives herself up to suffering,/ Wasting away every moment of the day in tears.” (1) This behavior causes the viewers to pity Medea and automatically think that Jason is the bad guy; their first impression is that she is a pure woman who does nothing wrong. In spite of that, Medea goes on to cleverly guilt the king into letting her stay after being exiled: “Allow me to remain here just for this one day,/ So I may consider where to live in my exile,/ And look for support for my children… Have pity on them! You have children of your own.” (12) This tactic exhibits her manipulative and devious nature, despite being utterly miserable only a few moments ago.
