In the ancient Greek society, Medea is too loyal to her husband and family. And also, she is looking for the equality of the sex.
Medea is too loyal to her husband and family. Because of Jason, Medea are willing to steal the golden fleece from her father, even she will betray her country. Medea does not care about this, she just wants to help Jason to get the golden fleece. Besides that, Medea moves to Corinth, where she never been, with Jason. Medea never grumbles to Jason that she losses her family and friends from her country. She just wants to stay with Jason and starts a new life with Jason. However, something has been changed. Jason betrays Medea and his children to marry with the daughter of Creon who rules Corinth. Jason wants to raise his position in Corinth, so he gives up Medea even Medea is really love him and loyal to him.
On the other hand, Medea is looking for the equality of the sex. When Medea knows that Jason marries with other woman, she is very unhappy. She thinks she does not do any mistake to Jason and family, but why Jason will marry with other woman. Also, she thinks it is not fair to her because she could not have any right to stop this. She just can do one thing, which is let Jason leaves her alone. .
Compared with nowadays, I still can see many women are like as Medea that loyal to their husbands and families, but their husbands still betray to them and leave them selfishly. However, most of women can stand up by them and keep their families better and better, even there are no husbands in their life now. I think this is the change of the equality of sex between the pass and now.
