Nurse and Background

Medea plans on killing the bride, Jason and Creon

As Medea is saying she wants for her children to die along with their father, the urse is saying ¨What makes you blame the children too for their fathers crime?Why do you hate them? Oh, you poor dears, I've a terrible fear in my heart that you'll come to harm!¨

After making her speech to the women of Corinth there comes some news from the king Creon that Medea has to leave with her two sons right then because he replies to her that he fears what she can do. ¨I order you to leave this land and become exile, taking your two sons and lose no time!¨

In the beginning the nurse explains everything that had happened before the current time of the play. She explains the background information and then says ¨But now everything has turned to hatred and where love was once deepest a cancer spreads.¨ That's when she begins talking about the present time after Jason has left Medea, one may be able to see that the nurse takes Medea's side from the way she talks about Jason.

After Creon tells her of this news Medea then starts planning what to do next.¨They still have trials to face these newly-weds, and,as for the one who made this match, his troubles will not be slight..I have no shortage of deadly routes to follow that will led them to their deaths; I don't know which one I shall try first, my friends.¨

After this tragic event Jason comes in and starts a fight with Medea about how she has brought this all upon herself. ¨You speak your foolish mind and for this exile to be your reward.¨ Between, her attitude and her temper he just goes on and on and finally Medea says something to him. ¨You owe your life to me as they all know...¨
