Medea by Euripides is a tragic story where the main character Medea, finds out that her husband, Jason is a trader due to him giving up on his family to get higher social status. Medea, filled with anger and sadness, begins to seek revenge; she ends up hurting the ones she cares about and leaves Jason with nothing.
Medea's closing statement demonstrates my work with other students, all collaborating to demonstrate a deep understanding and connect to the play of Medea. We used particular terminology to establish a modern trial over Medea and her actions toward Jason and her sons. I used this artifact to convey their growth as a student in IB; this closing statement demonstrates the deep hard work given to trialing Medea for her action in the play.
Medea's closing argument is a work that other students and I did to connect the tragedy of Medea in the play to real-life cases that correlates to the inhumanity performed in these events. I chose this artifact for Medea because it demonstrates the ability to go outside the box and not conform to a space where it does not connect to reality.
The summer of junior year, going into IB, we were assigned to submit an essay comparing and contrasting two texts we read over the summer. Medea was implemented to demonstrate the role of women in these two works of literature. I chose this writing as an artifact because it conveys my understanding of these two works of literature, and since it was my very first IB English paper, it displays growth as a writer.
