"Medea of Euripides" by Euripides is a classic tragedy believed to have been written in the 5th century BC. The play centers on Medea, a powerful enchantress and the wife of the hero Jason, who grapples with betrayal and revenge after Jason leaves her for another woman. The themes of love, vengeance, and the consequences of passion are intricately explored as Medea's fury leads her down a tragic path." "The opening of "Medea" introduces us to Medea's profound despair as she confronts betrayal from Jason, who has chosen to marry Creon's daughter. The Nurse anxiously reflects on Medea's wrath and potential for violence, while the Chorus provides insight into Medea's inner turmoil, emphasizing the despair and vulnerabilities of women. As Medea struggles with her feelings, she calls upon the gods to witness the injustices she faces, setting the stage for her eventual tragic actions driven by a sense of betrayal and anger. The stage is effectively set for a fierce confrontation between passion and moral consequence, showcasing the emotional capacity of the characters involved."
