Medea

Medea by Euripedes was one of the most interesting stories, in my opinion, that we have read so far this semester. Once I began reading this story it was very easy to sit there and finish. I found this story to be very passionate and the character of Medea was powerful and enthralling. The character of Jason mostly annoyed me because I found him to be a coward. He was a true smooth talker when he was talking to Medea and trying to win her favor back and sooth her anger. I have mixed feelings about the ending, mostly because it was so ambiguous. I also, felt that Medea let Jason get off too easily.
