21. Euripides' Medea : Vengeance, Reversal and Closure - Persée
Medea most radically questions conventional definitions of women in her relation to the house. Her deed negates the one indisputable source of pride and honor ...
This article examines how the paradoxical aspects of Medea's character point to one of the fundamental issues of Athenian tragedy, the definition of feminine nature and the ambigous role of women in the polis. The central point of that ambiguity lies in the way in which Medea joins together motherhood and a capacity for murder, the weakness of a forsaken wife and the all but divine power to unleash fierce, frightful revenge. Medea stands not only for the ambiguous condition of woman in the city and the virilocal house, but also for the difficulty to determine into definitive categories the physis, the essential nature of woman. It is the denouement in particular which in concrete terms sets the problem of violence in relation with Medea's amgiguity. In the role of goddess ex machina Medea heralds the foundation of a future ritual, but at the same time precludes lamentation, which is conventionally the masculine role in tragedy. The contrast between the acute feelings of pain presented on the stage and the forthcoming rites in Hera Akraia's shrine presents a fairly strong anti-cathartic theatrical show and points to the difficulty of solving the problem of violence which feminine nature introduces into the heart of the city. In more inclusive terms the play offerts a reflection on tragedy as a cultural form meant to represent and confront the shocking effects of violence.
