1.) Chorus, why didn't you stop this harsh and cruel act that Medea did?
2.) Medea, do you think killing your own kids was worth it just to get back at Jason? Why or why not?
3.) Medea, how do you feel about your case right now? How smooth do you think it will go?

Interview

# data[].attributes.body
Says- “Methinks she hath a dread, not joy, to see
Her children near. 'Tis this that maketh me Most tremble, lest she do I know not what. Her heart is no light thing, and useth not To brook much wrong. I know that woman, aye, And dread her! Will she creep alone to die Bleeding in that old room, where still is laid Lord Jason's bed? She hath for that a blade Made keen. Or slay the bridegroom and the king, And win herself God knows what direr thing?”(page 4-Nurse)

Means- What the nurse is saying she does not know what Medea will do because Jason just left her for Creon’s daughter. The nurse also goes on to ask herself will she kill the children, herself, or the bridegroom and the king.

Matters- This is foreshadowing by what Medea might do later in the story. Also is matters because it shows how Jason leaving has affected Media

Says- “The cup of all life shattered in my hand,
Longing to die—O friends! He, even he,
Whom to know well was all the world to me,
The man I loved, hath proved most evil.—Oh,
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow,
A herb most bruised is woman. We must pay
Our store of gold, hoarded for that one day,
To buy us some man's love; and lo, they bring
A master of our flesh!”(page 15-Medea)

Means- She loved Jason a lot and to see Jason betray her like that broke her heart. She then says that to get a man to love you, you “ buy us mans love” meaning you have to do something for a man to love you

Matters- This matters because it shows how her love for Jason turns into hatred because of what he has done to her. It also is a lead up to who she is going to kill, which is everyone Jason loves.

“.who didst kill My sons, and make me as the dead: and still Canst take the sunshine to thine eyes, and smell The green earth, reeking from thy deed of hell; I curse thee! Now, Oh, now mine eyes can see, That then were blinded, when from savagery Of eastern chambers, from a cruel land, To Greece and home I gathered in mine hand Thee, thou incarnate curse: one that betrayed Her home, her father, her”(page 75- Jason)

Means- Jason is saying how he should’ve been the one that she should’ve killed not his sons and he cursed her because of that. Also he basically says he was blinded by how much he loved her that he didn’t see her savage ways and reminds her that she betrayed her home for him.

Matters- This what Medea intended, wanting Jason to feel the pain of everyone he loved dying saying it should’ve been him. Also Medea’s revenge works making him feel the pain she felt when she felt betrayed by him and I find it ironic that he says she left her home for someone when he left her for someone.

Chorus
1.) Why did you support and sympathize for Medea?
2.) could you see Medea´s rage backfiring on Jason and Creon´s plan to banish her later on? Why?
3.) Do you think Medea murdered her children to keep them safe or as revenge?

Nurse:
1.) What made the relationship you had with Medea good?
2.) Do you think Medea deserves to be banished? Why?
3.) Was Medea always driven off of her anger?

Medea:
What do you think is best for your children?
Why did you steal the golden fleece from your own native people?
Why did you kill your father and brother?

Medea
1) "I shall lay those children dead—
Mine, whom no hand shall steal from me away! Then, leaving Jason childless, and the day
As night above him, I will go my road
To exile, flying, flying from the blood
Of these my best-beloved..."
2) "  All fasting now
And cold, her body yielded up to pain,
Her days a waste of weeping, she hath lain,
Since first she knew that he was false." The Nurse
3)  Medea "Jason, I pray thee, for my words but now
Spoken, forgive me. My bad moods. . . . Oh, thou
At least wilt strive to bear with them! There be
Many old deeds of love 'twixt me and thee.
Lo, I have reasoned with myself apart
And chidden: "Why must I be mad, O heart
Of mine: and raging against one whose word
Is wisdom: making me a thing..."

Medea
“From his new bride, who this day, desolate

Even as she made me desolate, shall die

Shrieking amid my poisons.”(Medea;46)

Medea
“Who hate me: 'tis that I will slay by craft

The king's daughter. With gifts they shall be sent,

Gifts to the bride to spare their banishment,

Fine robings and a carcanet of gold.

Which raiment let her once but take, and fold

About her, a foul death that girl shall die

And all who touch her in her agony.”(Medea;46)

Medea

“Mine, whom no hand shall steal from me away!

Then, leaving Jason childless, and the day

As night above him, I will go my road”(Medea;46)

The other child
“She has almost caught me now. She has a sword.”...

The other women
“A Mother slew her babes in days of yore”(Medea;71)

DAY 1
1.Do you think Medea planned the murders or was it in blind rage for Jason? I do believe that Medea planned the murders for all of the people that were killed. I heard her talking about it a lot. She was so angry and wanted to plan their murders in the way that would hurt Jason most. I saw her preparing the dress and telling the children to give it to Creusa. I also heard that she had locked herself in the room with the children right before she killed them.
2.Do you think Medea felt bad or remorse for what she’s done or do you think she just wanted to hurt Jason and get revenge? It is very hard to believe that Medea wouldn't feel some type of remorse, especially since she killed her own children. However, I think that she truly believed that this was the only way to repay Jason for leaving her.
3. Do you think the murder of the king and the princess was used to hurt Jason or she just felt the need to hurt someone? I think that the murder of the king and princess was used to hurt Jason. Medea knew that the princess was the one who was replacing her and that Jason seemed to love her better so she targeted her. The killing of the king, I believe, came more from her own personal hate due to the fact that the king banished her from the land.

About Creusa Dying:

“From his new bride, who this day, desolate Even as she made me desolate, shall die Shrieking amid my poisons. . . . Names have I Among your folk? One light? One weak of hand? An eastern dreamer?—Nay, but with the brand Of strange suns burnt, my hate, by God above, A perilous thing, and passing sweet my love! For these it is that make life glorious.” (Medea, 46.3)

About the children dying:

“Thinking on what a path my feet must tread Thereafter. I shall lay those children dead— Mine, whom no hand shall steal from me away! Then, leaving Jason childless, and the day As night above him, I will go my road To exile, flying, flying from the blood Of these my best-beloved, and having wrought All horror, so but one thing reach me not, The laugh of them that hate us.” (Medea, 46.2)

About Creon’s dilemma:

“Which raiment let her once but take, and fold About her, a foul death that girl shall die And all who touch her in her agony.” (Medea, 46.1)

1. Since Jason left Medea for Creusa, would he leave Creusa if he saw a bigger opportunity for power?
2. How long was Jason planning to leave Medea for Creusa?

Quote 1) Says-   Alas, the bold blithe bards of   That all for joy their music made,  For feasts and dancing manifold, That Life might listen and be glad. But all the darkness and the wrong,  Quick deaths and dim heart-aching things,  Would no man ease them with a son,  Or music of a thousand strings? Then song had served us in our need.What profit, o'er the banquet's swell That lingering cry that none may heed? The feast hath filled them: all is well!
Means- this means that The chorus could here very thing going on in the house and did not thing to stop Medea or prevent her from harming others.
Matters- This matter because in the story the choirs new about Medea hurting her children before anyone else did and if only they said something maybe her children would still be alive.
Quote 2) Says- Oft have I seen, in other days than these,How a dark temper maketh maladies
No friend can heal. 'Twas easy to have kept Both land and home. It needed but to accept Unstrivingly the pleasure of our lords.
But thou, for mere delight in stormy words,Wilt lose all?
Means-  When saying this they were referring to the moment Jason realized the his children were dead and also his wife.
Matters- This matters because when Jason had nothing left in his life and Medea succeed in her job of hurting Jason
Quote 3) Says- One word will make thee fall. Wert thou not false, 'twas thine to tell me all, And charge me help thy marriage path, as I Did love thee; not befool me with a lie.
Means-  This means that Medea had finally deiced to kill her children
Matters-This matters because it was a moment that changed the whole plot of the story and made everything a Greek tragedy.

1.)Did Jason notice any signs of Medea being unpredictable or crazy before he left?
2.)If Medea were from Corinth do you think anybody would have anything good to say about her.
3.)Why do you think Medea killed her sons, when they did nothing wrong? Were they a constant reminder to her of the man who broke her heart?
4.)What do you think went through Medea's head when she found out Jason left her and their sons for a young princess?
5.)Do you think Jason leaving was an event that randomly broke Medea and made her break or would she have inevitably murdered people.

# data[].attributes.body
Creusa - Poison - Mdea sent gifts with her children to give her(a dress and crown) that were laced with poison. She fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and then shot up into flames. This murder was ruthless and she showed no mercy. She had plenty of time to plan and double think what she was doing, but still decided to poison creusa. There was also added cruelty because Medea tricked her. Creusa thought she was getting a kind gift.

King Creon - poison - King Creon found his daughter dead and when he went to embrace her, he absorbed the poison as well. He tries to get up but chooses to give up and die alongside his daughter. There was no mercy in this kill. Medea knew that even though the gifts weren’t directly sent to him that he would try to touch creusa or hug her or something and that he would inevitably be killed as well. It was cruel and required planning. She knew that either way, living without his daughter or dying with her, it would be painful and she basically gave him the decision.

The sons - stab - When Medea hears of the deaths of Creusa and King Creon, she debates killing her children, but ultimately rushes to kill her children with a sword/knife and takes their bodie with her. This is exceptionally cruel because she very well could have just taken the kids with her and that way Jason would still be without them, but she decides to kill them instead. She ends up not only making Jason miserable, but herself as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Medea's children: Medea stabs her children with a knife. There was no mercy with the children’s deaths. Medea could have spared their lives but chose not to. She could have taken them from Jason another way other than death. She could have left town with the children but instead decided to get them roped into the situation.

2. Creon: Died from the poison of the dress and lit on fire trying to help Creusa. I think that Creon’s death was the most merciless of them all. Medea knew that Creon would take greater pain in seeing his daughter suffer than he would if it was just him dying. Medea gave Creon the ultimate choice of doing nothing and feeling guilty about it or trying to save his daughter and dying with her.

3. Creusa: Poisoned and lit on fire by a dress that Medea poisoned. There was no mercy in this death either. Medea tricked Creusa into thinking that she was receiving a gift and killed her that way. Medea did not show mercy because she was jealous that Jason picked Creusa over Medea.

2.Is it your opinion that Medea mean’t well or is she evil?

1.  Day one Witnesses
Jason
1.  How did you know Medea killed your children?
2. Why do you think that she did so?
3. Has Medea ever shown any evil intentions such as these in the past?

Chorus

1. Why do you think Medea murdered her children?
2. did her revenge upon Jason really justify the fact that she pulled her children into this fight just to get back at him?

3. Explain Medea's character. did she care for her children at all? If she did, then does her hatred really run that deep?

and Nurse
1. Did you notice anything strange about Medea's behavior when she was first banished?
2. Why were you worried about her children's safety?
3. Did you think that Medea was going to try and get back at Jason later on? why?

These are the witnesses because they all have seen Medea  commit horrific acts. Jason saw Medea murder the children, the nurse saw how Medea was messed up and can vouch that she knew something was wrong, and the chorus because they knew what had been going on

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Chorus, did y'all notice Medea making malicious plans to kill her children, King Creon, and Creusa before the murders took place? If so, give examples.
2.) Do you believe Medea would be someone who would kill for revenge, Jason? Why or why not?
3.) Jason, how do you know Medea killed your children, wife, and King Creon?
4.)How can you prove that you were not an accomplice in the murders of the children, King Creon, & Creusa, Nurse?
5.)Medea, do you take responsibility for the deaths of her children, Creusa, & Creon? If no, how can you prove you did not kill them?

# data[].attributes.body
1) says-"I surrender: and confess that then I had bad thoughts, but now have turned again.And found my wiser mind."

means-She is trying to open up to Jason about her thoughts and feelings and confessing her anger towards the situation and has grown.

matters-This matters because later on in the story we know she allowed her anger to envelop and kill her children so basically what she was saying was like a cover up

2)Says- "I murdered Pelias, yea, in agony, By his own daughters' hands, for sake of thee; I swept their house like War.—And hast thou then Accepted all—O evil yet again!— And cast me off and taken thee for bride another? And with children at thy side! One could forgive a childless man. But no: I have borne thee children.

means-Medea killed a man ran away from her home town and beard children just to be with Jason .She feels betrayed that he left her and married another woman as if she didn't sacrifice her life for him she is in

matters-This matters because the reader now understands her built up anger and frustration towards Jason. He took everything away from her by leaving she's going to decide to take everything from him.

Says-"Sons, did ye perish for your father's shame?"

means-The children died because of Jason actions

matters-Medea went into her own decision in killing the children to torment Jason.

Day 1
1. Was the murder of Medea’s children premeditated?
Yes it was premeditated and thought out by Medea.
2. Were the murders of Medea’s children justified?
They were not justified she was in a bad mental state and was grieving and mad at Jason at the time.
3. Did it hurt Medea to take the lives of her children, or did she not feel guilt because she felt she was protecting them?
It did hurt Medea I saw her crying and hugging them before she carried on with her awful plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Day 1:
Answers to Jaedon's question:
1. I feel that Medea was in a somewhat stable state of mind when she killed the children. Her life wasn't going well and she allowed her rage to overcome her and it took a toll on her mentally, but she was still a little stable.
2. Yes, I think my actions did affect her mentally, but she made the situation a lot worse than it was. I don't think it is what drove her to want to take away everything I had. She just wasn't happy in general and took out her anger on me.
3. No, Medea did not show any remorse at all. In fact, she was happy with her actions. She was smiling as she took the dead children away with her.

# data[].attributes.body
Day 1:
1. Did Medea mean to kill King Creon when she was intending to kill Creues?
2.To the chorus, why did they not try to talk to Medea to change her mind?
3. Nurse- Do you feel that if you had gotten there earlier would you have been able t save the children?
4. If Jason had not left Medea would his children and wife still be alive or would it have eventually happened over time?
5. If Medea was from Corinth do you think the people would have treated her better than they did?

# data[].attributes.body
Day 1:

1.Was Medea ever this psychotic to or around you?

She was endangering her kids and I knew about this.

2.Did Medea get justice for what she needed to get justice for?

She thinks she did but I’m not really sure.

3.Would you consider Medea to be more destructive to herself or those around her?

Yes, she was out of control. She killed the King and the Princess and her own children for someone who she didn’t need in her life to live with.

# data[].attributes.body
DAY 1
1. Was the murder of Medea’s children premeditated?
Yes, through out the story I watched Medea doubts her plans and her ideals.

2. Do you think Medea felt bad or remorse for what she’s done or do you think she just wanted to hurt Jason and get revenge?
Medea had to feel some remorse because as a mother she murdered her children. Psychologically, this would have an impact upon a mother's mental health. However, I believe she thought this was the only way to act out her revenge.

3. Why do you think Medea murdered her children?

Medea murdered her children in order to get revenge upon Jason. Seeing the children also reminds her of Jason’s betrayal, which leads to the two main motives of killing her children.

# data[].attributes.body
Day 1:
For Jason:
1. Why do you believe Medea decided to kill your children?
2. Do you believe that her extreme and deadly revenge plan against you was warranted?
3. Why did you decide to leave Medea for Creusa?

For the Nurse:
1. Why did you believe Medea would kill her own children after Jason left her?
2. Has Medea shown signs of this extreme side of her before?
3. Do you believe that Medea's murders were justified in order to enact revenge upon Jason for his misdeeds against her?

For the Chorus:
1. Do you believe that Medea's murders were justified in order to enact revenge upon Jason for his misdeeds against her? If so, why?
2. Has Medea shown any sign of remorse? If so, would you argue that she is still sane and her premeditation was developed under a distraught, but sane mind?
3. Is it not sacrilege that Medea would target both the King and the Princess, who are both innocent of Jason's misdeeds? If not, why did she target them as well?

We chose Jason because he would be the most optimal asset to use in prosecuting Medea for her crimes.

We chose the Nurse as she is someone who was close to Medea before and after the tragedy occurred and she would allow us to see what Medea was like before and after Jason left her.

We chose the Chorus because they watched Medea meditate her plans and go through with it so they'd have a good recollection of how Medea was throughout her planning and how she was while in action.
