In “Stereotype and inversion in Euripides' Medea”, Shirley A. Barlow states that Medea is a foreign woman who does not want to accept adapting to the labels that are placed on women of Greek society, unless it allows her to gain favor to take her revenge on those who ruined her life. Barlow states that Medea has the same conditions as all women in Greek society, but segregates herself from the labels Greek society has for her. female behavior and daily life. Medea speaks to the chorus, the women of Corinth, and gains support and compassion from these women because of the betrayal that Jason placed on Medea thus "she differs from them implicitly with respect to the general situation of Greek women in that she will not consent to his circumstances". and it will not remain, therefore, in the labeled box in which the company placed it”. Women in Greek society are tied to their husbands. They should stay at home and be happy with a stress-free life; without any outside contact with anyone unless the husband gives them permission. Barlow states that Medea is outraged with fierce passion at how Greek society views her situation which she dispels and upholds the illusion and concoctions of how Greek women should behave. She plays the submissive woman to get what she wants out of the situation. Medea is fully aware of the negligence surrounding her and has recognized the fact that the situation is beyond her reach. Medea is ready to go through the desideratum to make Jason suffer her wrath for breaking their oath, even though it is unavoidable, because she is aware of his pride and reputation. She is willing to go to the battlefield to have what Greek men have, such as: “Adventurous, dominant, aggressive, and to be… halfway… good men. The only control she has is over her family and why the stereotype of a Greek woman is not true for Medea, because "the eternal human truth is found", rather than "cliché" in what Medea had done for her dignity. Her dignity "not only destroys herself as well as her enemies." Barlow shows Medea in the role of the submissive woman and behavior which is what Greek society wants to see from Medea, but they don't realize that she manipulated them to get what she wanted. to carry out his revenge. "Showing her love as a mother fighting for supremacy", from her compassion for Jason turning to hatred, with other characters portrayed as "courage, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, intelligence, callousness, imprudence, calculation, [ and] desperation. Even though fate took her away, imagine the “emotional punishment she inflicted on herself” in the end.
