Jason Isaacs

revenge against Jason is in many ways a product of a reason due to Jason’s deception of divine oths. Medea’s passion fuels her reasoning in her contretemps throughout the play. Jason’s actions are ruled by his reasoning and sanity. Jason's betrayal played a big part in the play

In the short story Jason and the Argonauts, Jason is considered the hero and the villain. You may ask how do the two relate, they don’t. Jason is the hero and the name “villain” was put into existence when a girl name Medea came along and stumbled into his life during his quest. Let me ask you this, is capturing the golden fleece being a hero or is playing a girl that is willing to help in getting the golden fleece being a villain?

work Poetics, can be applied to Medea to determine Jason is the tragic hero. Aristotle believed that the details of the plot were the most important element of tragedy and, in turn, they become imperative to exposing Jason as the tragic hero. One of the most important parts of a tragic plot, Aristotle found, is that the tragic hero must eventually realize their inescapable

case. Medea gave Jason every part of her and then some. To show his gratitude, Jason decided not only to say that all of those sacrifices were meaningless, but to also go on to steal part of her identity as well. Jason stole Medea’s past, present, and future by deciding to leave her. Once one is able to empathize with all the pain and suffering Medea endures she is able to understand why Medea reacts with the extremities that she does. Logically, Medea does the exact same thing to Jason as he did to

This power provided her a strong base to plan for revenge from Jason. As mentioned, her cruelty had no set boundaries and limitations. Thus she didn't hesitate to continue with her cruel plan and murdered the princess in attempt to revenge Jason. Executing her plan was a suicidal attempt and hence she managed to escape due to her future planning. This symbolises the true ambition and desire of Medea and

In Greek tragedies the heroes mostly share a common similarity. This is no different when we look at Clytemnestra and Medea in their own individual situations. In Euripides play, Medea and that of Clytemnestra from the play from Aeschylus both have similar individual situations such as both of them are vengeful wives. (Euripides. (n.d)) They are similar in the fact that they were vengeful however they had different means on how that vengefulness occurred. When both Clytemnestra and Medea completed

After she gives birth to their children, Jason betrays her by marrying Glauce, the daughter of the King of Corinth, Creon. When she vows revenge on Jason, Creon banishes her from Corinth. In the beginning of Medea, the nurse of Medea says, “But now, there’s only hatred. What should be most loved has been contaminated, stricken since Jason has betrayed them––his own children, and my lady, for a royal bed

without knowing it, he was going to live a life being a hero. Jason, son of Aeson, was in danger when he was born. He was fortunately saved, and later in life followed in his father’s footsteps. He set an example to never give up on what you want, or what you are meant to do. Keep trying in life and make an effort to do anything it takes. Jason’s sister saved his life when he was an infant by calling out to one of the cherished Gods. Jason was part of the family that was ordered to be killed so they

Medea’s conflicts with her husband Jason lead ultimately to her killing Creon, Creon’s daughter, and both of Medea and Jason’s children. The death of their children was done purely in order to exact revenge. Medea states that this is the only thing she can do in order to truly affect Jason as negatively as she wanted to.
