: : I need help.!!!!! : : What are the main themes in medea and how do i go about writing an essay about them! : : Thanks : : Joe : Here are some themes, as outlined by Meyer Reinhold in "Classical Drama, Greek and Roman": : 1. Euripides humanizes Medea and thus creates sympathy for all women, who suffer as inferiors in Greek society. : 2. Uncontrolled emotions of hate and jealousy overcome reason and bring disaster to all. : 3. Fear of insecurity can lead people to create horrible crimes. : 4. Internal conflict in Medea between emotions of mother love and desire for revenge. : 5. Character study of an emotional oriental woman, an alien among the Greeks, whose love turns to hate and fierce desire for revenge. : 6. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." : Pick ONE of these themes, and read the play, noting down lines and incidents that illustrate the theme you have chosen. (#1 and #5 may require further research into Greek culture.) : That should get you started. Now you're on your own. Good luck.
