It turns out that the rumors were true. Medea did, in fact, murder her own children. She has now killed her brother, betrayed her father, caused Jason's uncle's death, poisoned Glauce and Creon, and now she has finally gone off the deep end and brutally murdered her children.
The shocked citizens wonder what could have possessed her to commit such a vicious act. Many speculate it was to get back at Jason. How could a mother slay her own children? It is an unfathomable misfortune that befell those poor boys.
The reports say that Medea hesitated. She did not want to kill her children. But that doesn't matter. She went through with it, probably to cause Jason pain. Well, the joke is on her. She has most likely caused herself pain in the process. How could a woman be so blinded by a thirst for vengeance that she would be driven to do such a thing?
It is certain now. Medea has indeed completely lost her marbles. After what she has done there's no hope left for her. I wonder, would Aegus have agreed to shelter her if he had known what she was planning to do? The homicide was surely premeditated. Jason has yet to find out about his deceased children. What will he do to Medea, now that she has taken everything from him?
