Character Analysis of Medea

Thesis

Image of Medea can be described with unspeakable charm. She is

beautiful, she is of noble birth, she has a high strength of the spell,

and she is smart, strong. Not only can she make the heroic age men

drunk and vertigo, but she is a born queen; what she did let her

become the object of many review from the stage that appeared in

ancient Greece moment, pushed to the moral judgment on the

court. However, Medea is not only the meaning of "evil woman",

on the contrary, her unique personality and tenacious struggle of

misery makes her image full of breathtaking shocking.

Content

Medea, who is princess of Luo Si, fell in love with the man who

came here to get Golden Fleece, Jason at first sight. In order to

help her sweetheart, she designed taking the Golden Fleece,

betrayed his father and state, and killed his brother after fleeing

with Jason. However, after experiencing all kinds of hardships,

exiled to Koren Toth and later had two sons, Jason betrayed the

Medea and married the princess of Koren Toth. Medea was

expelled. Be driven into a corner, this tearless rage woman made

cruel revenge plan that not only did she killed the princess bride

and her father, but also personally killed his sons. In a word, the

image of Medea has hardly charms. I will analyze her

characteristics in three aspects.

Ⅰ.Medea is a beauty, wisdom, brave woman.

Medea saved her husband's life many times, stabbed the circle

around day and night without sleeping guarded the golden fleece

for Python, Jason high lift at the light, he betrayed his father, killed

his brother. Besides, she is a very thoughtful woman; she asked

Corey Von Jean himself to live more than a day, make own plans

organic fertilizer. In the implementation of the plan before, to find

a way out themselves as the first: "even if they were dead, but

which city states and are willing to receive me? Which the Gentiles

would give me a safe place, a quiet home to protect my body? No

such person. So I have to wait, wait for the strong tower appeared

in front of me, I use this trick, this attack method, to poison them".

Before retaliation she did a series of planning and she was the one

who knew what she wanted and tried her best to achieve it.

Ⅱ.Medea is a vengeful people, she revenged for herself.

She made a wonderful plan for revenge "friends, I have many ways

to kill them, but I do not know that a good first. What is burned

their new house, still secretly entered the furnishings of the new

bed room, with a sharp sword into their chest?" At last she used to

poison and witchcraft killed Princess and king, in order to make

Jason feel more painful, she personally killed two of his sons, she

could not kill the son. She also had a brief hesitation, but was

immediately revenge the annihilation: "in any case, they are not

afraid to die! Since the death, I gave birth to them, therefore I still

have the right to kill them. Since the fate that doomed, they cannot

escape." In the whole process of revenge, performance of her was

very decisive, Jason came to visit Medea, hoped that through a

material compensation to make up for their relationship, Medea

decisively rejected: "I don't need your friends, don't accept you

something, don't you send me, because everything you send is

useless for me."

What’s more, another charm of her is to love without any

hesitation to unremitting pursuit. Unlike Cleopatra Cleopatia use

love to capture the throne, Medea with the throne, the motherland

and brother's life in exchange for a strange and status is not

insured people love, sacrifice, unprecedented. And all this is only

with the man of a few sweet words. In this sense, Medea and Jason

is not married, but married love; she eloped with that man is not a

mistake, but to rid of fathers, the pursuit of freedom and happiness

escape. She helped her husband revenge, with her husband, of no

fixed abode wandering, the birth of the two son of husband, the

husband had children - pension - and that to the ancient Greeks

have very important significance. All she had done for her

husband's can be regarded as the love of unremitting pursuit, the

pursuit, from her to help him steal the Golden Fleece the moment

never wavered. For the love, she can act of treason, kill brother,

and when the past vows to become naked betrayal, are the supreme

ruler she can kill asylum, can even suppressed inner maternal

tearing, would later bear no child pain, also want to kill his own

son -- "lovely bright eyes the mother" of the child, so as to let the

husband died. The arrival of love let her happy and full of hope,

and the disillusion of love is to let her pain, despair, prisoners not

loved one heart, spell longitudinal can summon wind and rain also

have what use! What is the use of life! Rather than "let the thunder

split my head".

Scholars as from ancient to modern times has said, he was a

concern for women's low status of the author. In his works

"Medea", the heroine of your princess, but also can not escape the

fate finally abandoned.

Ⅲ.Medea is a living reality of the woman, and she was detached

from reality and existence. What is different with the traditional

woman, perhaps because since the "wild" and come, Medea dared

to actively pursue their own happiness. She can to love betrayed

his country, in order to love and selfless, perhaps this is the author

of an expectation for women.

But this expectation at the time the caste is not feasible, Euripides

is also well aware of this, so in his works, although Medea is the

one with courage to pursue love, but must pay for fathers, not to

have the world abandoned price.

And the last is the deep love and to pay all the Jason abandon, be

this kind of tragedy into a climax. Women even God of magic, the

beauty of the face, prominent family, brave character, but

eventually escape without the tragic ending of all.

Medea was a passionate, intelligent, resolute, bold and crafty, dare

to love and hate women, is a model of the awakening of the female

self consciousness. Revenge of Medea, on the surface there is no

human nature, be utterly devoid of conscience. If combined with

the specific environment at the time she was located, deep roots

caused her cruelty to explore, the fact is not so. Medea resistance is

mainly due to the authority of the husband, Wang Quan told her

compressed. Her behavior and emotional development is

reasonable in the play, the female self consciousness is in the plot

development step by step slowly awakening.
