Before I get into the play itself, it is useful to know the history about Medea and Jason. Medea was born into a magic filled kingdom named Colchis in northeast Turkey. Medea’s mother died while giving birth to her. She was raised by her aunt Circe

The king underestimating her powers granted her one night with the condition that at on crack of dawn she would have to be on her way. That night she sends a servant to look for Jason and request for him to come once more into her sight. When Jason came at her request she peg for his forgiveness. She also pleaded to him to keep the children, so they would not have to encounter any of her enemies. Medea went on saying how much of a fool she was, because he was just doing the best for her and her children. By marring royalty he would have children that would be brothers to her own and shall be looked after very well. Jason convinced of what she was saying made peace with her. With this newly peace between her and Jason she offered to give the bride to be a wedding gift. She sent the children with a finely woven dress and a golden diadem. The children delivered the gifts and the bride to be received them with open arms. Not to long after the gifts where delivered a messenger came a told Medea to run for her life because the bride to be and her father where both dead because of the poison that she put in the gift. Medea rushed into the house with the two children and proceeded to sacrifice both children in her final step of getting her revenge. At the end she got what she wanted because Jason suffered the death of his two children and she took refuge in Athens.

Medea first she claims that every thing she did was for love. Huh I did not see it that way. The bad guy of the play was spouse to be Jason, I did not see that either. Jason should have not abandoned her with their children. I agree but after he did, well big deal. He left and she was madly in love with Jason. Ok and if she wanted to take revenge I would not have blamed her. But to kill her own children to get back at a man is not even feasible from a logic point of vie
