Medea kills her family in an act of vengeance. Although, she is hurt I do not think this justifies her actions. One does not have the right to take someone's life away from them. Two wrongs do not make a right. Medea should of tried her best to move on with her life for the sake of her children. She had many other options. Revenge doesn't justify her actions. Revenge makes her less pitiable. I don't feel bad for her after she kills everyone Jason cared for. Medea could of been the bigger person, but she made herself look worse than Jason. In addition, I pitied Jason at the end instead of Medea. She had turned him into the victim.
I don't think that Medea's actions were justified. She murdered her children even though there had been no need for it. They were innocent, and shouldn't have been part of her plan for revenge. I think by her doing so, she is now less pitiable. The readers may not agree with her selfishness and rashness. Both traits influenced her decision to kill her children.
Medea kills her family in an act of vengeance. She wanted to hurt her husband as much as possible for leaving her. However, was murdering her children really the only way to do this? By killing her children, Medea shows that she has no control over herself and commits whatever evil act first enters her mind. At first, we pity Medea, feeling bad that her husband left her. However, after she flushes what's left of her family down the toilet, we realize she's crazy and got the suffering she deserved.
Medea killing her kids out of vengence is not justifiable. Killing your kids for any reason is unjustifiable. She should have found another way to get over Jason leaving her and not take someone elses life becasue of his actions. Heartbreak is no reason for murder. In the start of the story I felt pity for Medea and viewed Jason as the "bad guy". After Medea killed her children, I lost respect for her and she was completely un-pitiable. I felt that she deserved no pity and way crazy for taking her own family away from her.
Medea's acts of vengeance are not justified. She was out of her mind, but that is no reason to go off on a killing spree. A little revenge would have been justified, such as spreading horrible rumors that would get him exiled. I pity her more, because her actions show how truly lost her mind is. She basically can't help being mentally unstable to the max. Also, if she wasn't crazy she would be a very likeable character.
Medea kills her family on the act of vengeance. From the moment her plan came to her she stuck with it the whole way through, not questioning it nor thinking twice about it. I don't think her actions were justified. She killed Jason just because he left her, but she killed her own children, who had no part or reason for Jason leaving her. I think she should of just looked at the truth and moved on. Maybe if she let the situation go, evil would come upon Jason, or something good might happen to her. I also believe her actions make her less pitiful. She went and killed Jason and in my opinion made her look worse then Jason already looked, and I also believe that anything can be solved without violence, but Medea had to kill her family just to make him suffer.
Medea kills her loved ones in an act of vengeance. I do not believe this justifies her actions. Medea could have easily put a smile on her face for the sake of her children and slowly but surely moved on. Instead she became vile and irrational and killed anyone that stood in the way of revenge. In a lot of ways her actions make her less pitiable because she lost control and any pain that would come to her in the future about the deaths she caused are her fault. At the same time in some ways I can see why a person could pity her because some may believe it was the gods acting through her and she had no control over her actions.
Medea's killing of her family was in no way justified. They could have escaped to Athens together, but instead, she decided to kill them because it would hurt their father. The action does make her pitiable because you can see just how insane she has become. She has no feelings of remorse or comprehension of what she has done. Jason has driven her to feel this way. So, you can see how pitiful she has become underneath of all of her hatred.
Medea's actions make her a lot less pitiable. I say this because for me, I felt sorry for her the whole book until that point. Her actions are not in the least justified. She reacts out of impulse and does not think things through before carrying them out. I think the gods should have punished her for her actions. If they had done so, I believe the tragedy would have been a lot more satisfying than it was. Also, it would have made it more of a tragedy in the first place.
Medea kills her family in an act of vengence. I don't think that her actions are justified because even though Jason left her and she has every right to be mad, you shouldn't take it out on anyone, especially in her family. She should have tried to live her life with the pain and try to suffer through it all, not make others suffer for her. I think her actions make her less pitiable because you pity her throughout the book for what she had gone through and then she goes and kills her family. You then feel bad for the family, not Medea.
Medea kills her family in an act of vengeance. These actions are not justified. Although her husband left her for another woman, her kids did nothing to deserve their gruesome fate. Medea used her children as a tool to get to her husband, and killed them in order to hurt him. In the beginning of the play, Medea could have easily been pitied. However, her actions and dramatic change in character put a twist on the situation. It makes her seem like the bad person and therefore the reader would no longer be able to feel any type of remorse toward her.
Although Medea felt pain, her actions of murdering her family were not justified. Her children had nothing to do with the situation Jason had left her in. They were completely innocent and uninvolved. Killing the children was unjust. Killing her children also made her less pittiable in my eyes. There was no need for her to have murdered her children. I believe that if she had the strength and power to murder her children, she could have had the power and courage to manage her situation she was left to in a rational/un-harmful way.
