Paper Summary:
This paper examines the character of Medea in the play by the same name by the Greek writer, Euripides. By referring to examples from the text, the paper shows Medea's passion for her love Jason, her will to give up her family and country for him, her loss of status when her love affair does not work out, her misery in her situation and the final tragic murder of her own children.From the Paper:
"Euripides' Medea is considered one of the most evocative plays about women's rights. It is also one of the most controversial plays till today. The reason for this is probably because Euripides' chose to project Medea as an extremely strong woman who is not afraid to assert herself and chooses rather extreme means of doing so, including infanticide. It is her drastic actions, rather than the underlying principles that probably causes Medea to be a controversial work."More papers on "Medea" and Passion:
