Medea is All Alone

The spies tell me that Jason has left Medea.  No one should be shocked, but apparently Medea is.  But can she really blame him? Medea can be a little...overbearing, otherwise known as absolutely terrifying.  Sure, Jason did a terrible thing.  Cheating is never okay. But, honestly, who would someone want to be married to more, the princess of Corinth, Glauce?  Or the wicked, psychotic woman who helped kill Jason's uncle, causing them to be banished from Ioclus? I know who I would choose.  

Right now the spies are sending messages about what Medea is planning on.  Except, it seems she isn't making revenge plans.  She is locked up in her bedroom, wailing and moaning.  She's wondering how her beloved husband could possibly abandon her. If only she realized that she was the problem.  

Everyone knows that Medea is deranged.  She has some issues about killing people, mainly not knowing that murder is not generally accepted as being okay.  Medea has previously slaughtered her only brother for the Golden Fleece, which turned out to be pretty much useless in the end.  Not to mention that time she tricked Pelias' daughters into assassinating their own father. 

That's not the worse thing, though. The most horrible thing is that Medea doesn't understand how this is extremely illicit.  So maybe Jason was right to leave her for Glauce, though Medea probably doesn't see it that way.
