Maybe some of you might think Medea is justice, maybe none.  Anyway, I think both her action and thought are evil.  Even though Jason betrayed Medea first, but Medea’s action is crueler.  She even wants her innocence children die as well, and the reason is just because the children are son of Jason.  Medea was carried away by evil mind, and she couldn’t think properly of what’s right and what’s wrong.

Then what should be consider as justice?  I don’t feel like there’s justice, it is just the idea of people who rationalizes his or her behavior.  I think Medea done it on the same way.  She thought her action is bring justice to Jason’s betrayal.  But, at the moment she killed the people, she is just a murderer.

Another thought about the Medea.  I think the author wanted to emphasize the unfair treatment between men and women.   Usually, women were ruled under men; they listened to whatever men said, they couldn’t do nothing but took care of house.  However, Medea told us that women were not burden, Medea helped Jason on his quest ad princess granted Jason the royal power.  The text reflects that women are important in society, they can do whatever men can do.  Women should be at the same position as men.

I think the most important purposes of the text are informing unfair between men and women, and consider what is justice mean to you.
