The drama focuses on the tumultuous and vengeful character of Medea, exploring themes of betrayal, love, and revenge as she navigates her strained relationship with her husband Jason, who has abandoned her for another woman. The play offers a deep dive into Medea's psychological turmoil as she grapples with her identity, loyalty, and the consequences of her actions. At the start of the play, we find Medea preparing for a significant action against those she perceives as her betrayers. Set against the backdrop of Corinth, the atmosphere is tense with Medea contemplating the consequences of her past and current grievances. As she speaks with her nurse Gora, she reveals her deep sense of betrayal by Jason, who has chosen another wife despite their shared history and children. The opening scenes depict Medea's emotional struggles and her resolve to reclaim her power and dignity, laying the groundwork for the conflicts and tragic events that will unfold throughout the play. The dynamics between Medea, her servant, and Jason introduce us to the complexity of her character and foreshadow the dramatic repercussions of love turned sour.
