Medea

I really liked reading Medea. it was different from the other Greek tragedies because it had a feminist point of view which was interesting. It has a female chorus which was a new concept, and Medea was a strong character who had been betrayed. It is interesting comparing her and Clytemnestra because Clytemnestra kills her husband because of the death of her child, but Medea kills of her children because of her passion turned to hatred for Jason. Medea puts her husband above her children, even her revenge against him, while Clytemnestra is only concerned with avenging her child, even though her husband is considered a Hero and did nothing directly to her.
