The messenger says to Medea, "Are you sane or raving mad?" And she replies, "I could make suitable reply to that, my friend." How might she explain herself? (600-800 words).
When the messenger reported to me the horrible scene that had taken place inside Creon and Glauce's palace, which since that time I had been identified as the murderer of the royal house. In hearing the news, my reaction of accepting the news with composed satisfaction and fulfillment add to those suspicious being put on me. And my response to that matter of "excellent" and boasting the messenger as my "benefactor" may have startled the messenger a lot. There is no wonder that they doubted whether I was sane or raving mad. I have got my own suitable reply to that, and that is v/s yes, Im sane when I say Im happy to have killed Glauce and yes, Im also about to go raving mad because I know I have to finish the revenge on Jason in a minute by killing out children.
Most people are horrified by my nasty intrigues and frightened of my evil spirit. I confess even I myself consider the means of murdering Glauce is vicious and it was me who nursed those plans of murdering and made them take effect. But that's the only way I could carry out my revenge on Jason's betrayal to me. And on the way to achieve that goal the death of Creon and Glauce is unavoidable. Sometimes I wonder about myself: why should I have revenge on Jason? After all he's the person once I loved deeply and followed. And why should I try to murder the royal family, except banishing me, they have not done anything else wrong to me. But once those plots of Jason's mew marriage with Glauce comes up to my mind, I can no long stop thinking of his behavior of deserting his own poor children and his wife. The feeling of helpless and hopeless acted like a catalyst and accelerates the hardening of my heart. And I felt myself being insulted and ruined.
