Take notes on what you do not understand and bring them to class, or do a google search and try to do some sleuthing.


3. Make sure you get a copy of the medea text ASAP, seen here

http://www.amazon.com/Medea-Other-Plays-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449299/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377736679&sr=1-1&keywords=euripides+penguin

I encourage you to buy it used.

Answer the following question in about 100 words.

4.    Medea is obviously a very complicated character. After watching the play, do you still sympathize with Medea despite her horrible act?  Why would the author take such a drastic step to undermine Medea as a sympathetic character?
