Medea offers a perspective on the darkest and most marginal interpersonal constellations: it’s not just a tragedy of a woman, an experiment in emancipation; she’s not just a heroine, witch or a lover, driven by irrational passion – but also a member of a certain social class and a tragic consequence of the contradictory politics at the time. Medea’s revenge is based on the possibility of creating another societal universe.
