Thoughts About Medea (Initial Reading)

-Many mentions of the Gods, what are they up to?
-Soap Opera-ish
-Turn of the century melodrama (i.e. Medea tied to the tracks w/ Jason standing over her.)
-Infanticide
-What other famous stories are there of women killing their children? (Ino)
-Darling Violetta "I Want to Kill You." Film Noir? Dance. Tableaux.

Film Noir --> "dreamlike, strange, erotic, ambivalent & cruel" like Medea. German Expressionism??

Something off and dreamlike - like Dr. Caligari.
