Medea

Medea It all started when Cupid’s arrow pierced Medeas heart causing her to fall madly in love with Jason, beginning her moral corruption. Medea's overpowering manipulation through out her speeches allows one self to despise her character. Medea has the ability to coerce one to believe her evil schemes, “thought most helpless in doing good deeds, are of every evil the cleverest of contrivers.” Medea isolated herself from the chorus informing them they cannot feel the tremendous amount of pain Jason has caused her. “You have not suffered as I have,” convincing the chorus that they can’t feel her suffering, she continues to tell them her pain justifies her reasoning for her upcoming actions. Medea builds herself a wall between herself and the chorus, and in doing so she has the chorus fooled and completely for her.
