In the latter half of Euripides’ play Medea, Medea’s scheme makes the decision of taking her revenge a step further. Aegeus gives Medea sanctuary in his home which was the last obstacle to her plans. “If you can come to my house on your own, I’ll let you stay there-it will be your refuge. I will not give you up to anyone” (805, lines 745-747). She then demands him to make an oath for reassurance that he will carry out his end of the bargain. In doing so, it provides Medea a place to go no matter what happens after she takes her revenge. After Aegeus leaves the stage, Medea talks about her plans for revenge. However, the plans for revenge seem to escalate from before. She decides to beg for her children to stay. By doing so, she will be able to have them deliver gifts to Glauce  which will kill her, but also decides to kill her own children (806). What amazes me is this part of the play where she makes the decision to kill her own children. Are Medea’s plans for revenge really justified? She seemingly gave up everything (betraying her own family) when she decided to side with Jason only to be betrayed in the end. However, does this really allow her the right to kill her own children in an effort to make Jason suffer?
