The play called "Medea", which is written by Euripides, was wonderfully written play. A dramatic story of a woman whose hate and anger leads her to do tragic things. I was amazed when Medea actually killed her two children in order for her to get revenge on her husband Jason. How can a mother have the nerves to kill her own offspring? I was upset at the fact that there were ways that this tragic incident could have been avoided. One of the ways that I wish to write about is what the Corinthian woman could have done.
From the information that I obtained from the play "Medea", I found the Corinthian woman to be friendly, sincere, thoughtful and kind. She experienced a moral dilemma that would probably be stuck with her for the rest of her life. She was the one person that could have stopped Medea from killing her children. She was caught up in a crucial situation near the end of the play about whether to go into the room and save the children or to not involve herself in what was taking place. If the Corinthian woman went to save the children, then she would be backstabbing her friend, but if she did go in, she would've had a chance to have saved the children from murder. As you can see on page 34 (1276-1278), she contemplates on whether or not she should go into the room and stop Medea from killing her children.
Honestly, I believed that the Corinthian woman was going to be the one that would have stopped Medea from killing her children due to her characteristics. How can she just stand there and let everything just happen like that? Reading this play, I was shocked and horrified at what .

happened at the end. In my opinion, I consider it inhumane to let someone murder their own children without doing anything to stop it. It doesn't matter who the person is, you have to try and stop them some way or another. Who knows, everyone has their own perspectives, maybe the Corinthian woman has a different opinion than what I do.
