Title
Medea
Subject
Medea, from the play of the same name by Euripedes
Description
For good reason, Medea started it all. She shows how the cultural presumption that a mother, no matter what other emotions she may be feeling, should set them all aside if her children are in danger. Medea disrupts that presumption and slices open the maternal social fabric to allow for the "monstrous" maternal figures to exist. Her rage supersedes all other social limitations including the one of maternal infanticide. Her anger towards her husband, Jason, due to his public abandonment of her and their children, send Medea into a spiraling vortex of manipulation and revenge. She is blinded by it, and ends her sons lives to exact.
