In this short scene between Jason and Medea they have a bitter argument. This scene is their first confrontation in the play. Here Jason enters and immediately accuses Medea of making her living conditions worse in Corinth. He believes she and his children should be allowed to stay in Corinth with certain conditions. Medea reminds Jason of all the help and crimes she committed for him in his journey for the Golden Fleece, and the sacrifices she made to help him. Jason feels that Medea exaggerates her past assistance and reminds her why he has now chosen King Creon’s daughter as his new bride. Medea is angry at being cast aside. Jason calls women “fools” and makes his claim that men would be better suited in the world if they didn’t need women to have families. Jason tells Medea “he’s finished with these stupid arguments” and exits the scene. Medea warns Jason that you will pay a dear price for betraying her and the children. This is just a short moment from a fully realized production that will be presented during our spring term 2021.
