story Medea were; the plot, thought, and diction. The plot is all taking place in the Greek city. Throughout the play all of the events happening advance and then become its all of its central characters. The main events of the play were first, when Jason left Medea, which was his wife and also mother of two amazing children, he left her for another woman which then brought so much grief to Medea. Medea got to the point in her life where she wanted nothing to do with society or even her children. She

kills her children, but Jocasta attempts to send Oedipus (her son at the time) to his death with pins in his feet. They lie to other characters in their stories a lot; they both exemplify sneakiness. Medea lies to Jason on how she is “ok” with him being with his new wife. Medea explains “Jason, I ask you to forgive me for the things I said before.|You're used to putting up with my temper, since so many acts of love have passed between us.|I have gone over the arguments with myself and I reproached myself”

Medusa used to be a beautiful, golden haired, mortal. She vowed to stay celibate for an eternity, but broke her vows when she met Poseidon. As punishment, her hair was turned into snakes, and her skin was turned a greenish tint. Feeling obligated to marry Medusa for causing her to be disfigured, he married her, and built a gorgeous castle for them both under the sea. Poseidon, not actually loving Medusa, had an affair with Amphitrite who gave him Bessie a multi-headed cow-demon. Despite not knowing

did the unthinkable to benefit themselves. According to Rick Bragg, author of Focus on Susan Smith’s Lies and a Smile from a New York Times article, Smith killed her sons “in hope of reclaiming a lover” (Bragg, P.2). Medea was also mad in love with Jason and his betrayal is what evidently

consistent pattern of behaviour across events. Medea shows some inconsistency as she battles internally with her lust for revenge and her desire not to kill her own children. While Medea talks endlessly about exacting revenge and causing pain to Jason at whatever cost to her throughout most of the play, her resolve wavers as the reality of murdering her children approaches. As Molly has highlighted before me, Medea strengthens her resolve by changing her intentions and considering an argument for

Jason was a heroic leader of the Argonauts. Jason and the Argonauts were later known as Jason and the Argonauts who were a group of men who adventured through Greece in quest of the golden fleece which was the famous golden wool of flying ram. The Greeks worshiped Jason and the Argonauts and honored Jason above all men when he and the Argonauts returned with the golden fleece.Jason was the son of Aeson, who was king of Lolcus, an ancient city, and his mother was Alcimede.

A Greek Tragedy, Medea, by Euripides gives a backstory on the life of an adventurer and a woman madly in love. Previous Greek tragedies state that Jason, the love of Medea’s life only loves her in order to retrieve the Golden Fleece to retain his rightful throne. His encounter with Medea results to him agreeing to marry her so that she could assist him in his journey. Medea holds great power and judgement as a sorceress. The beginning of the play told by the nurse synopsizes the story of Medea’s

One of the most notorious villains in Greek mythology is Medusa, the treacherous woman with snakes for hair. She is universally portrayed as a symbol of evil, as she was frightening to look at, and would turn anyone who dared glance at her into stone. Medusa is understood by many only as a monster without compassion or pain. Medusa, however, is the most interesting and misunderstood character in all of Greek mythology because she was a victim of Poseidon and Athena, she did not intend to hurt others

Medea after being betrayed by her husband Jason, she takes advantage of the sympathy of others to carry out her agenda. As an outsider and “non-Greek” (326), she understands that the people of Corinth do not reserve much sympathy for Medea herself. However, she recognizes there is a possibility that people will take pity on her children, therefore she takes advantage of this knowledge by using the children as bait. Medea persuades Creon and Jason to sympathize with her predicament by acknowledging
