How does Medea put it? 'I know the evil I'm about to do, but my anger is stronger than my better judgment.' She thought that giving in to her rage and getting revenge on her husband was better than sparing her children. That's how it seemed to her — but she was wrong. Show her clearly that she's wrong, and she won't do it. But as long as you don't show her, what else can she follow except what seems right to her? Nothing else. So why are you angry with this miserable woman for being confused about the most important things? Why has she become like a snake instead of a human being? Why not pity her instead, if you can? We pity people who are blind or lame. Shouldn't we also pity those who are blind and crippled in their most important abilities?
