Euripides appeals to the audiences ethos with betrayal and loyalty. In the play Medea, she took betrayal and loyalty seriously. So much that it drove her to commit a lot of those terrible acts of vengeance.

In the Seventh episode and denouement a scene played Medea murdering the First and Second boy.

"[As the woman of the chorus beat on the barred doors, behind which they hear groans and cries, they severally address MEDEA. Then they see the trickle of blood oozing from under the doors]"

1.provide three overall objectives for each of the following characters Medea, Jason, and Creon's tone. support with textual evidence.
Medea : barbaric, morbid, manipulative
Jason : vivid, belligerent, self - righteousness
Creon : Insecure , doubtful, hesitant

Medea: "and brings with her a barbaric and ruthless intensity." , "just let me stay this single day to ... To arrange my exodus from here" , "my own hands shall burry them'"
Jason : "Jason too becomes vivid in the sound of every syllable he utters" ,"plodding huff-and-puff self-righteousness of the cornered male" , Like a man belligerently trying to explain away an affair.
Creon : insecure - "my soul is not tyrannical enough. my heart has often let me down... so now Medea, though i know i take a false step - have it your own way"
Hesitant - "many things conspire to make me fear. you are a women of some knowledge"
Doubtful - but let me warn you solemnly,if the divine light of tomorrows sun sees you and your offspring still within the borders of this realm

Medea's foil is the Female Population, the Nurse, and the Choir. I remind you that a foil is a ''character that shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualities of another character with the objective to highlight the traits of the other character.'' They all have something in common, they sticked to what was expected form women in that era. Like the chorus, in the last episode, they were outside of the awful scene of Medea killing her sons, and they hesitated if they should do something about it. I do not think it was only because they were afraid of her, it was also because women didn't fight, they were submissive, they did what was said to do.

-''Second Woman: That murderous restless woman!
Third Woman: Shall we break in? Snatch them from death?''

And in general the Female Population, in last quotes we can see Medea's description of women, she is the total opposite of that.

-''Of all creatures that can feel and think, we women are the worst-treated things alive. To begin with, we bid the highest price in dowries just to buy some man to be dictator of our bodies. How that compounds the wrong!... I had rather stand my ground three times in battle than face a childbirth once.'' p. 344-345

She is the complete opposite, she is a woman that did not endure her husband's betrayal. She was hurt, she gave everything for her man, whom at the first chance he had, left her for a new woman.

-''And if we learn our lesson well in this exacting role, and our husband does not kick against the marriage yoke, oh ours is an enviable life! Otherwise we are better dead. When a man gets bored with wife and home, he simply roams abroad to relieve the tedium of his spirit, turns to a friend or finds his cronies. We women, on the other hand, turn only to a single man.'' p. 345

3. What was Euripides' purpose for portraying Medea in such a violent fashion?

# data[].attributes.body
He wanted to portray a difference on the social expectations about women. Women in that era were expected to obey, to be submissive, to marry and have kids, work on the house, between others.

-''Of all creatures that can feel and think, we women are the worst-treated things alive. To begin with, we bid the highest price in dowries just to buy some man to be dictator of our bodies. How that compounds the wrong!... I had rather stand my ground three times in battle than face a childbirth once.'' p. 344-345

He personified the complete opposite of women in that society. He empowered women, in this case by doing it with one, Medea. I think he portrayed her that way to show that women are strong, they don't have to endure sexism. Women are more than just ''Mothers'' or ''Housekeepers''; they are strong.
