If you lived in Medea's time, what would you expect her to do once Jason married other woman?

Answer 1

Remember Medea had given up her own people and country for him, turned her back on everything for him. She couldnt go home and she couldnt stay in disgrace. He was marrying up and disgarding her. Her revenge was to end his family line. It was more than killing his children , it was killing the furture of his kingdom by killing his new wife so there would be no heirs and killing there children so he had no other children. She had no future so she killed his.

Answer 2

In the time of Medea, it is said they were very Dramatic and of course Greek Tragedy in itself is based on the tragedies and barbarian ways of that time, and yet the masks displayed in our Theatres are from Greece, Tragedy and Comedy. At that time being the story is very familiar I would not have doubted the worst and the worst did happen in that story. But optimistically thinking maybe if someone like the husband who if he cared about his children first and would have chaste himself the murder of his children would not have been.
