  • Essay / Judgment on Medea of ​​Colchis - 1147

    My dear citizens of the jury, we are here today to pass judgment on Medea of ​​Colchis. For the unforgivable sins of murder, in the first degree. Creon, king of Corinth, his daughter Glaucé, and even the flesh and blood of Medea, his two children. These poor defenseless souls were victims of Medea's rage, jealousy and hatred. I urge you not to take her actions lightly as she was once a sinner and she will no doubt sin again if capital punishment is not imposed. Before Creon, Glauce and the two children. There were other victims who suffered his wrath. Pelias of Iolcus, and even members of his own family. From his own incriminating words: “I myself have betrayed my father and my house, and I have come with you to the land of Iolcus of Pelias. And then, showing more willingness to help than wisdom, I killed him, Pelias, with a most terrible death. p16. The gods themselves should judge Medea, but she comes from a foreign land. A land of barbaric customs, witchcraft and sorcery. She doesn't have Greek culture. His actions are criminal and unjustified. The witch Medea knows only hatred, and that is all she will ever know. After brutally murdering his own children, facing the victim father. Jason questioned why she had committed such acts. All she could say was, “To make you feel pain.” p46. Medea did all this just to spite her husband, who gave himself to a wealthy family so that their children could be raised in a wealthy home. “Also so that I can raise my children worthy of my position, and by producing more. To be your brothers, we would bring families together and we would all be happy. p18. Jason, the man who brought this wildling into a cultured society, allowing her to follow the paths...... middle of paper...... of poor innocent children to cut all ties and flee to a safe harbor. Ignoring the children's wishes and their cries for help, she struck them out of this world. “What can I do and how can I escape from my mother’s hands?” p41. Medea is a cold-blooded killer capable of the unthinkable. To get rid of anyone in her path, to betray her own family and home, and to shame her duties as a mother. “O your heart must have been made of rock or of steel, you who can kill with your own hand the fruit of your own womb.” p41. I beg the jury not to show the slightest drop of compassion when Medea's name is present. And do not pity the beast, for pity only fuels its bloodlust. Medea is a living demon and must be put to death immediately. O righteous citizens of the Jury, strike this infernal creature where it stands or the Gods themselves will intervene and purge it from this world..
