MEDEA
The motivation behind the character Medea comes from her eagerness to get back at her husband Jason for deserting her for another woman. She decides to do the worst possible thing that could hurt him the most, take away his woman and take away his children. Because of the intensity and cruel intentions behind her motives, she carries them out without a moments hesitation and the plan does work.
