This research paper: A 5 page essay that contrasts how Clytemnestra and Medea are portrayed in plays by Aeschylus and Euripides, respectively. Each woman enacts a terrible vengeance on her husband, showing that she is capable of murder in order to feel that her honor as been upheld. However, a close examination of these plays demonstrates that the playwrights show these similar women in very dissimilar light. Clytemnestra is treated by Aeschylus as a threat to the fabric of Greek society. Medea, on the other hand, is shown in a much more sympathetic light by Euripides, who lays considerable blame for her actions on the societal role of women at that time, and on the dishonorable actions of her husband Jason. No additional sources cited.
