A witness tells me that King Creon has just had an intense conversation with Medea in front of her house. I can't believe she actually came out of her bedroom. But I'm sure she wishes that she hadn't. The news the king delivered was not the happy kind.
It turns out that Medea is being exiled from Corinth. She was puzzled, actually confused about the reason why. Just minutes ago she was standing out in public, announcing her hatred of Jason and the royal family. Medea cursed them all, in front of people. Did she really not expect for word to get back to the king?
The same witness informs me that she convinced King Creon to allow her to stay one more day, under the guise of her making arrangements for her children. Yeah, right. No one could believe that, right? Well, no one but King Creon, apparently. He believes that there is nothing Medea could effectively do in her search for vengeance in one measly day. The King is mistaken (but don't tell him I said so, that's treason). A lot more can happen in one day than he thinks. She could sneak into the palace and kill the princess and her new husband. Maybe she could burn the village down.
Personally, I think the best option would be to simply leave with what dignity she and left, which isn't much. But Medea isn't known for being rational. Who knows what she will do next.
