(1)


Euripides doesn't shy away from some pretty obvious foreshadowing here. Medea's path of revenge is pretty clear even from the opening moments of the play. Of course, the Athenian audience the play was written for would've already know the Medea myth quite well.


Revenge
Quote #2


Medea: Oh, what misery! […] Cursed sons, and a mother for cursing! Death take you all – you and your father […]
Nurse: Why make the sons share in their father's guilt? (20-21)


The Nurse points out the irrationality of Medea's rage. This lady is so out of control that she plots to annihilate all products of she and Jason's union. The boys' innocence is no defense against the irate Medea
