Medea

Style and Technique

Euripides' «Medea» is a drama written in the genre of ancient tragedy. Its distinctive feature is the intensive use of dialogues and monologues to reveal the inner world of the characters and their motives. The language of the work is rich in metaphors, comparisons, and imagery, which gives the text a special expressiveness and emotional intensity. Structurally, the work is divided into a prologue, episodes, scenes, stasima, and exodus, which is typical of ancient Greek dramaturgy. One of the key features is the use of the chorus, which not only comments on the action but also expresses public morality, ethics, and reaction to the events of the play. The emotional charge and psychological depth permeating the work, combined with the depth of philosophical reflections on fate, morality, and human passions, make «Medea» an outstanding work of ancient Greek literature.
