dc.description.abstractThe term “crime” covers a broad spectrum of illegal behavior, like murder, doing drugs, theft, etc. In a typical manner speaking, when someone commits a crime, they face the people of the law and are charged for the crime. In the Greek drama play Medea, Medea wants to get revenge on Jason because he decided to leave her and marry the princess to give their children better opportunities in life. Medea does not care about Jason’s reasons, but she wants to hurt him as much as he had hurt her, and she decided the best way is to hurt things he cares about: his lineage. As part of her vengeance scheme, she decides to kill everybody who may aid Jason in improving his bloodline, even if they do not know that they are helping. Even though Medea committed a large crime by murdering four people, she escapes without consequences, since she has personal relations with the gods, and she made Aegeus take an oath promising her protection.en_US
