A rock or wave of the sea would pay more attention to the council of friends than she does (Nurse)
no one making an enemy of her will win an easy victory, take it from me (Nurse)
You mean the poor lady still continues with her laments? (Tutor)
My fear is she may hatch some unheard-of scheme. (Nurse)
I've already seen her glaring at them like a bull (Nurse)
Oh, I am wretched, pity me for my sufferings! Oh, if only I could die! (Medea)
Medea has an "unforgiving nature" (Nurse)
O cursed children of a hateful mother, I want you to die along with your father, and all the house to go to ruin! (Medea)
she "begins to address the chorus in measured tones" (about Medea)
with a husband who finds marraige a yoke he bares with ease, our lives are to be envied. But if not we'd be better off dead. (Medea)
But what of me? Abandoned, homeless, I am a cruel husbands plaything, the plunder he bought back from a foreign land (Medea)
but wrong a woman in love and nothing on earth has a heart more murderous. (Medea)
All of this I have done for you and yet you have betrayed me, you unfeeling monster. (Medea)
Man of stone (Medea)
Words to wise for human intelligence to fathom (Aegeus)
Swear by this solid Earth and by the Sun, father of my own father, not omitting all the race of gods (Medea to Ageus)
Come wretched hand of mine, grip the sword, grip it! (Medea)
It is a fearful thing that human hands should spill the blood of a god. (Chorus)
we stand already in the shadow of a sword. (Medea's child)
Wretched woman, so you are made of rock or of iron (Chorus)
Oh, how many troubles caused by the loves of woman. (Chorus)
not by a woman but a lioness, with a nature more savage than Tuscan Scylla's (Jason)
So call me a lioness, yes, if you wish to, for I have my claws in your heart as you deserve. (Medea)
You contemptible creature, killer of children. (Jason)
You do not know lamentation yet; wait until you are old. (Medea)
As before with Creon, she assumes a posture of helplessness in front of him.
