Medea

Intriguingly, as we can tell from the title, the protagonist of this story is female unlike the other readings. Usually, anger of a woman or revenge of woman portrayed as more severe and cruel than man's. Story of Medea develops from her anger and vengeance when Jason abandones Medea,the wife and the two children. Jason was offered remarriage with Glause, the daughter of Creon who is the king of Corinth. Unfortunately, Medea was emotionally broke when Jason left her and curses her and her children's existance. This story tells miserable and brutal fates of characters that clearly shows the tragic deaths. Tragedy has much bigger impact to the readers than other happy ending story. It made me think human nature of anger and rage. Depressing storyline but influential.
