Euripides’ 5th century greek tragedy stage drama "Medea" uses a variety and portrays the lack of power that women held in ancient greek society, and challenges the expectations of female roles using dramatic conventions. Euripides rather portrays protagonist Medea as a very powerful and strong-willed woman in which defies and challenges the expectations of a submissive and timid woman, asking the audience to consider how these original views could be opposed. First preformed in 431 BC during a time of patriarchal society, Medea outlines the injustice of her plight and yearns for justice for women, and yet her course of action undermines her struggle. However Medea naturalises a negative view of women acquiring power through Medea and her viscous acts of revenge, upon killing the King of Corinth, Jason’s wife and most horrifyingly her own two children in her quest for bloody vengeance. The characterisation of the male roles also enforce typical gender roles, using Jasons dialogue and attitudes towards Medea and other female characters. Eurpidies both challenges and naturalises ideologies regarding gender roles in the society of the time
