Medea

Medea and her husband Jason have 2 children together. Medea is deeply in love with Jason,  but the story opens with Jason leaving Medea and her 2 children in hopes of remarying the daughter of Cleon, Glause in the city of Corinth. Similar to The Ramayana, Medea is ordered to leave the city. Medea gives of vibes that make the readers pity her. Medea crumbles to pieces and goes insane. She now hates her life, aswell as her 2 children, who only seem to remind her of Jason. Before leaving the city, she plans on taking revenge on Jason in a crazy way.  Medea is granted 1 last day in the city, and on this day she kills Jasons new wife and the 2 children that they had together in front of Jasons eyes. This scene is very gruesome and shocking, aswell, considering how sorry I felt for Medea in the beginning of the story. This tragedy depicts a scene in which revenge is the most important thing for Medea, even more then her own children. Medea only can find peace with herself if she supplants her revenge on Jason. After she does go through with her plan of revenge, she is satisfied.
