Paper Summary:

This paper summarizes and critiques the play "Medea" by Euripides and translated by Michael Townsend, emphasizing Euripides' style of writing and the new ideas he introduced such as his views on denial, revenge and the tragedy taking place. The paper also offers a psychological analysis of the characters of the play.

From the Paper:

"The chorus in Medea displays qualities of both a commentator and a spectator. At times, the chorus sides with Medea and hopes to give her advice and support, while at other times it quietly looks on, shaking its collective head and watching as the damage is done. When Medea first faces the chorus, her calm and reflective tone, especially after her previous eruptions of rage and despair, reveals her unsettling ability to gather herself together in the midst of a crisis and pursue her plans with an almost inhuman determination."
