Argumentative Essay On Medea Written By Euripides

The play write, Medea, scripted by Euripides, is about a woman named Medea who seeks out revenge for her husband because of infidelity and his want for power. Medea’s plan is to solely hurt Jason as much as she possibly can. Her plan consists of a lot of deaths including her two sons. At first, Jason tries to explain himself about why he left Medea. Still, Medea was already hurting and no words of solace from him would help. Medea’s first kill was Glauce, the women Jason wants to be with. Killing Glauce is going to make Jason feel weak and without power, which is what Medea wants him to feel. At the end of the story she completes her revenge by killing her two sons. She struggles with this decision but decided she had to go through with it to compete her revenge which was to deeply hurt Jason in a way that nothing can put his broken heart back together. This is ironic because her sons represent the marriage they have and now since he had destroyed their marriage first she wanted to prove that it was completely over for them as they have no connection to each other, other their kids, which are dead.

2) I also feel that the sons should have been more involved in the play that way in the end when Medea kills them the audience would have had an attachment to the characters therefore the ending would be even more traumatic than it already
