One of the best plays ever made

Hippolytus - the story felt rushed, to the point I kept thinking, "Does Euripides have a hot date after the show and he wants to wrap things up early?" Anyway, as was the custom, this is only one part of what would have been a four-play work of related themes... I don't know the accompanying plays, so perhaps this one is exactly the right speed and length for his purposes.

I love women and their schemes!!!!

Euripides is one of the three greatest tragedy writers of classical Greek, a genre full of drama and suffering by the tragic hero. With Medea being one of his best works, Euripides rewrote the myth of Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece by providing a few new twists, especially near the end of the story. The story takes place in ancient Greece in Corinth, where Jason, perhaps, for his future, married the princess. Medea later found out about the affair, became uncontrollable, and began her wild venture. Medea's described to be psychological unstable, which led to the appearance of Medea's dark side as a murderer.
This book relates to the chaotic world we live in, with protests going on everywhere around the world, whether about the unemployment, government or war. The chaos can affect the people as in the case of Medea, made her to rid herself of moral and filled her mind with hatred and rage. A relationship can be made between Medea and Lady MacBeth, made apparent by their struggles with emotions, doubting themselves before committing the unthinkable. The story resembles some of the reality television shows that depict people in the worst of times such as Maury, etc, which ironically, make them so popular. Nothing in this story evokes a personal memory for me, I can gladly say. After reading this book, I definitely have a stronger attitude against the many "sins" the characters commit, there are no reason one should even think of these in-humanistic ideas.
This book ties perfectly with the theme of duality of good and evil in human nature. Human nature can be unpredictable, unstable at times, which can alter one's character for better or worse. Euripides portrayed the characters in a way to compare and contrast the theme of good and evil in human nature, represented by the personality change in Medea. Medea took a turn for the worse as her hatred and thirst for revenge took over.
I personally loved this book and I would recommend this to anyone who likes short tragedy with crazy twists all throughout the story. I feel the author accomplished his goals, providing with clear, descriptive details that make the theme more clearly. I was not convinced about the short sentences in the book, but as I got into it, they actually made the book easier to understand and made apparent the important themes embedded in the words.
