![]() ![]() The play’s questioning of women’s subordinate position was a highly unconventional attitude and a reflection of Euripides’s own views that he used to raise an interest for his audience about women’s rights, duties and relationships.Īdditionally, the family was extremely important in Greek culture, as was adherence to religious rites such as proper burial. In the fifth century BC, the historian Thucydides wrote: ‘The greatest glory is to be least talked about among men, whether in praise or blame’. For that reason, it is pertinent that Medea is taken to Athens at the end of the play, in the Sun god’s own chariot.Īlthough the ancient Greeks are famous for establishing democracy, they restricted the role of women in society and enslaved other peoples. At the time when Euripides wrote Medea, Athens still represented the epitome of civilised, balanced culture and democracy. ![]() By 500 BC Athens was the artistic centre of Greece but Sparta was the major power and head of the alliance of city-states until Athens destroyed the attack fleet of the Persians in 480–479 BC.

When talking to Mrs Gardener, who provides "a ceaseless flow of conversation", Miss Brewster makes "gruff comments". Miss Brewster is described as being a "tough athletic woman with grizzled hair and a pleasant weather-beaten face". Emily Brewster therefore held a resentment toward Arlena on behalf of the Erskine Family. Sir Robert had died and left Arlena Stuart most of his fortune, disinheriting his relatives. Patrick Redfern joined her in her boat and they rowed to Pixy Cove where they discovered the body of Arlena Marshall.Ī first cousin of Emily Brewster was married to a relation of Sir Robert Erskine, which give her some personal connection to the Arlena Marshall. As part of an exercise routine, she went rowing every morning.
