Examples Of Murder In Medea

I think that murder is not justifiable because no one should be killed just because he or she left their husband/wife. Murder should not be taken lightly because if someone kills another person then I believe that, that person should be locked behind bars. Murder can be justified only in certain circumstances like self defense. However, it is not in Medea’s case. Because Medea was killing going around killing everybody all to be with Jason.

Medea killed her own father and brother just to be with a guy named Jason so that he could have power. Later on in life Jason ended up leaving Medea to go and marry another woman that he had begun to have feelings for. When Jason left, then Medea became very hateful and crazy. She even became the most hated woman in the town. She became so hateful that her own children became scared of her and did not want to be around her.
During all of this happening the nurse became very scared of Medea and of what she might end up doing to her children and herself.
The nurse could tell that Medea was in pain and grieving over losing Jason because she loved him so much. When Jason left her then Medea felt unloved, angry, and she wanted revenge. Medea wanted Jason to know what it was like to lose a loved one because she wanted him to feel exactly the way that she does. So that's when she started to kill every one that Jason had begun to love, like king Creon. She even killed Jason's soon to be wife Glauce which was the kings daughter. And whom Jason had begun to fall in love with. And all in the end of it she ended up killing Jason even though he was the one that she was doing all of this for. She had killed everyone that she ever loved, her father and brother, her children, and Jason.
Medea became a very troubled woman she became so troubled that she ended up killing her own children and later on ended killing
herself.

This is why I think that murder is not justifiable because if you murder a person of their life then you have to deal with it being in your heart and mind for your entire life. Unlike Medea she apparently didn’t care because she was just going around killing everyone and honestly I don’t know how she lived with herself. There is no way that I could kill a person and not think about it everyday. Because if it were me then I wouldn’t want to live that on my heart because it would just eat me up inside. So this is why I think that murder is not Justifiable unless self defense.
