This article teaches us the different versions of the myth of Medea and how some of Medea’s past actions, personal history, and the cultural history of Ancient Greece, not always explicitly mentioned in Euripides’ Medea, can help the reader better understand Medea’s actions and motives in the play we will read.

 

The article also offers a close reading of the play to help us understand Medea’s character and actions as defying (going against) the traditional and expected roles of women in Ancient Greek society. Nugent helps us see how being a woman, but also being a woman from another country in Jason’s (Medea’s husband) homeland, marginalizes Medea and further pushes her into the category of the stranger, outsider, and unwanted woman.

 

 

PROMPT:

Your task in this assignment is to read the article (and my annotations on the article) to gather information and then summarize in about 500-600 words  what you learned about the topics listed below:

 

  • The social status of women is the Ancient Greek world this play is set.

 

  • Why Medea does not fit well into this society and why, according to Nugent, Medea is “the stranger in the house.”

 

  • Medea is a sorceress, but Nugent also talks about Medea’s ability to use language effectively. Summarize what you learned from the article about this aspect of Medea’s character.

 

Make sure to use MLA style in-text citations when you paraphrase and/or use direct quotations from the article. I will deduct points if you do not use in-text citations or if you use them incorrectly!
