Up until now, we have predominantly heard about Medea’s case from her perspective and the perspective of the chorus. Ironically, this disincentives the audience from being inclined to believe Medea as the way she acts, screaming and cursing, harms her credibility. Therefore, the audience enters the duologue between Medea and Jason in Episode 2 with skepticism instead of bias. The nature of the duologue provides an opportunity for the integrity of Medea’s cases to be proven if they can withstand the onslaught of rebuttals from Jason. From the duologue, we are able to gain a deeper insight into what possess Medea to have such negative views of Jason. The duologue begins with Jason attempting to diminish the victimhood that Medea possesses by placing the blame of exile entirely on her “intransigent temper”. He attempts to improve his self-image and nobility by mentioning that he “constantly tried to assuage the passions of the rulers in their angers” and tries to ascend the moral high ground by not being able to “think badly of you”. Furthermore, he emphasises his compassion for both Medea and her boys by stating that he “cares for their well-being”. With such a statement that contradicts the personification of Jason as a lazy, ungrateful and unfaithful husband by portraying him as calm, collected and mindful. However, Medea’s immediate rebuttal diminishes the legitimacy of his statements as dishonest and disingenuous. In all her anger, she is still able to construct a coherent, yet sarcastic, argument that conveys her dissatisfaction with Jason’s behaviour. Her mannerisms and tone do not diminish the coherency of her argument. Medea describes Jason as “vile”, lacking “manliness”, “shameless” and a coward. She also describes in deeper depth the actions she undertook for Jason. These included saving him from “fire-breathing bulls”, killing a dragon, betrayed her father and home and killing Pelias. These acts of violence and treachery demonstrated her undying loyalty to Jason yet he is not willing to reciprocate it by granting Medea permanent residency. Despite all the trauma she has been through safeguarding Jason from these threats, Jason does not regard them in the slightest and stands idly as she is exiled. Sarcasm is used expertly to convey the absurdity of the situation that Medea has been placed in as enabled by Jason. Sarcasm comes in the form of optimism that sadly conveys how disastrous her odds are of surviving outside of Corinth.
