For both Medeas, infanticide becomes an extreme act of liberation from society’s control over women through the ethics of care; a way to de-moralize gender and deconstruct the notion of femininity. jeu., 18 janv. 2024 14:02:10 +0100 jeu., 15 févr. 2024 13:42:19 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1046 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/981 Despite the appearances by which she has often been held captive, the figure of Medea can be read as an expression of absolute love. In particular, what emerges from a reading of Euripides' tragedy is what we might call the unrelenting cruel nature of love.
