After finishing the play, I am surprised at how much I enjoyed the rest of the play. I was waiting to see Medea's rationale on killing her own children and totally destroying Jason's happiness, and I must say I liked it. Medea is a victim of an unwanted spell of love. She had given Jason everything she could, done everything possible under the sun to help him achieve his dreams and the only thing she had asked for was to be his only wife. I felt no pity towards Jason and though I don't approve of all her actions I fully understand. Medea won my sympathy.
Overall I thought the play was a fun read. It pleased me to see the gods and chorus had been on Medea's side as well. Good example of Greek tragedy.
