Paper Summary:

This paper compares the methods of behavior chosen by the title characters within two classics of traditional tragedy. The characters that are examined are Medea by Euripides and Oedipus by Sophocles. Both Medea and Oedipus are figures that have suffered greatly at the hands of fate, but where Oedipus chooses to abandon his family and his kingly duties, Medea responds through aggressively targeting her family for destruction. Medea's methods, though far less palatable than those chosen by Oedipus, show a stronger personal nature and are more true to the feelings that she manifested at the time of her betrayal.
