Medea by Euripides.
Directions: Write clearly organized essay on of the following topics. Begin with a thesis statement, develop your ideas in depth, and incorporate short quotations from the play to illustrate your points. Topic: While Medea’s bloody revenge is motivated primarily by her personal grievance against Jason for his betrayal, she also seems driven at times by contempt for men in general. What does Medea have against men? Looking closely at her remarks to the chorus and to herself, analyze Medea’s hatred of patriarchal culture and mockery of Greek manhood. How does her proto-feminist critique of masculinity shape her relationship to the chorus of Corinthian women?
