Engineering, a job reserved for the illustrious and high British scholars before the Satyagraha movement, was now available…

Themes: Euripides’ Medea is undoubtedly the most famous and widely produced in modern times. One of the reasons for this modern popularity is a sense that the emotions of this story, though emphasized to the levels of Greek tragedy, are extremely modern and relatable. People move on more than they used to, and can tolerate abandoning their own families and homelands to be with their beloved, to start a family in a new land and hope for it to thrive.To achieve the influence today, any production…

pities the suffering hero. Medea is very different from Oedipus; I tend to take more pity and fear on Oedipus than on Medea mainly due to the fact that Oedipus cannot change his fate - he is a person locked in by his own destiny. Medea, however, is a manipulative and ruthless person of free-will; she betrays her homeland by brutally killing and chopping up his brother and leaves the land.
