Medea

Medea was a very interesting play to read. We came across this woman who deceived her family and killed her own brother for the man that she loved. Ultimately her love was so unconditional and deep for this man, that his deception drove her to a point where she was willing to hurt her own children. This play emphasizes a woman’s strength and displays the capabilities of a woman who has a plan; a woman who feels double crossed by her lover. I was surprised she actually killed her sons, but it made for a dramatic ending and left me speechless. It makes you wonder how love can drive individuals to certain actions and the extents to which people can be provoked.
