rage. In the center of the horrific situation was Medea, who was the daughter of King Aeetes. She was the former wife of Jason until he decided to abandon his family and duties as the head of the household by marrying Glauce, the Princess of Corinth. She murdered her children, Glauce, and Creon, the King of Corinth to satiate her overwhelming lust for blood and revenge. Undeniably, Medea is the epitome of the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Her burning desire for vengeance and destruction

Later in this passage, he also refers to Medea as a “foolish woman” when she tries to send the Coronet and dress to Glauce, and this theme of sexism is carried out a few lines later “If my wife values me at all she will yield to me more than to costly presents, I am sure of that”; again, the attitude of the ancient Greek time was that women were to do what they were told

Revenge is a kind of wild justice. Throughout many texts, the notion of justice has been debated on whether it is an act that vindicates those who have been wronged or an excuse to pursue revenge. Through Medea, Medea’s actions have been judged and criticised whether her murders are an act of justice that she deserves or simply the idea of inflicting pain on those she loathes. Revenge is the predominant motivator for the psychological and corporeal action of the play. In the play, Medea is self

As horrible as this sounds, I don't believe that Medea ever loved her children, for there was no more love for her to give that she hadn't already given to Jason, as was demanded of her by Aphrodite and Hera. What many readers confuse for Medea's love for her children, is in actuality her love for Jason. As such, her reluctance to murder his sons can be construed as her reluctance to part ways with the last remnants of her marriage to the Greek. In this sense, it may be said that Medea was a mother

In Book Three of The Faerie Queene, the character of Glauce plays an important role in aiding Britomart, the main character, to set off on her journey. Britomart, who represents Spenser's idea of ideal Christian chastity, confronts some challenging and poignant issues before she heads off on her adventure; namely, she sees a vision of her future husband in an enchanted looking glass, and does not quite know how to handle the feelings of all-encompassing love that arise in her. The terror, doubt

Euripides, Glauce, the daughter of Creon, is the young and beautiful princess that Jason leaves Medea for. Jason later explains that although he does not love Glauce, he must persue her for the benefit of his own political ambitions. The playwright included Glauce as a character because she heavily advances the plot. She is the reason that Jason leaves Medea. Which causes Medea to begin to plot to kill both Glauce and her father Creon. Fearing what she might do after Jason left her for Glauce, Creon

marry Glauce, promising Medea that it is for the better of her and the children, that they would be able to live in the lap of luxury and grow to become powerful rulers. He is the unlucky target of Medea’s wrath, although he certainly did bring it upon himself. His relationships with Glauce and Creon and positive, as he wants to marry Glauce and attain Creon’s favor, but according to Medea he was an absent father and clearly a flawed husband.

ex-princess of Colchis who was once happily married to the king of Iolcus, Jason. While they are still married, they are far from happy. King Jason has made the decision to abandon his wife and two children to marry the king of Corinth’s daughter, Glauce.
