Medea, victim or victimizer. Was Medea a victim or a victimizer in the play Medea? Some people might think Medea is a victimizer in the play, but I do not. I believe Medea was just a victimizer, however, I believe she was also a victim in this situation. I will discuss in detail the way Medea was a victim and a victimizer in Euripides play Medea. I will also discuss if I believe Medea was more of a victim or a victimizer. First, Medea’s whole situation started from her husband Jason being unfaithful. This already makes Medea a victim to cheating and harsh emotions as shown in the play. Medea was also a victim to love. She fell for Jason when he came to her homeland. This is where Madea’s foolishness came in and made her a bigger victim to love. Because Medea loved Jason, she committed many crimes for the sake of him and her being together. She loved him so much that she bored sons for him which is a great honor. Also she did her wifely duties and much more. Just to be betrayed by her husband.
