Medea is a fascinating play that focuses on the betrayal of Medea by her husband Jason. One key fact that Jason forgets to acknowledge is that Medea is a demigoddess and she will not stand letting him leave without a fight. There is an endless list of things Medea has given up to be with Jason, also all the things she has done to get him to where he was to that day. They had a respectable life, two children, and a loving relationship, but he was going to throw all of that away for a new girl.…

Medea is an Ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides about a woman that does not focus on women’s rights, but women’s wrongs. These wrongs are not necessarily done by Medea but also done unto Medea by Jason and Creon. Euripides, in writing this tragedy, specifically points out social injustices that, in his opinion, were important during that time period.

While she is fleeing from her homeland, she betrays her family by killing her brother, so that Jason may be spared (Hunter). She exiles herself from her birth land, effectively losing her birth…

In the play, Medea, Creon and Medea have a very unfortunate relationship. I say unfortunate, because its beginning is founded upon the fact that his daughter is now to be married to Medea’s husband, Jason. Therefore, the first exchange between Medea and Creon revealed how fearful Creon was of Medea. The very first thing that Creon says to Medea is that he is, “announce[ing] that you [Medea] must leave this land, an exile” (278--79). Creon knows how ruthless Medea is and is afraid of what she…
