Abstract

When first comparing the play medea and Aristotle's Poetics, many people feel that the lead character, medea, breaks every requirement for being a tragic character. But when we take a step back and view medea at a different angle, we see that she does actually fit every aspect of Aristotle's tragic character definition. medea is essentially a good character, she is an appropriate character, she is life like, and she is in most ways, consistent.
