Medea

Despite the many aspects touched upon in the story of Medea, is hard to relate to. Since I do not have a husband or kids, it is hard for me to understand her deep hatred towards her Jason. I can only imagine how annoyed she was. I do find it interesting how she blames most of Jason's betrayal on him, not his mistress. Sometimes, girls tend to blame infidelity or cheating on the girl with whom their husband or boyfriend is cheating on them with. I think this falls into an overall message throughout the play of how Medea and the author empower women. Medea is portrayed as a very intelligent and clever women. She was able to trick Jason and others around her into letting her stay for longer in the town to say goodbye. Also, the chorus is made of all Corithian wome, who add their opinions to the story.
