The play explores many universal themes: passion and rage (Medea is a woman of extreme behaviour and emotion, and Jason’s betrayal of her has transformed her passion into rage and intemperate destruction); revenge (Medea is willing to sacrifice everything to make her revenge perfect); greatness and pride (the Greeks were fascinated by the thin line between greatness and hubris, or pride, and the idea that the same traits that make a man or woman great can lead to their destruction); the Other (Medea's exotic foreignness is emphasized, made still worse by her status as an exile, although Euripides shows during the play that the Other is not exclusively something external to Greece); intelligence and manipulation (Jason and Creon both try their hands at manipulation, but Medea is the master of manipulation, playing perfectly on the weaknesses and needs of both her enemies and her friends); and justice in an unjust society (especially where women are concerned).
It has been seen by some as one of the first works of feminism, with Medea as a feminist heroine. Euripides’ treatment of gender is the most sophisticated one to be found in the works of any ancient Greek writer, and Medea's opening speech to the Chorus is perhaps classical Greek literature's most eloquent statement about the injustices that befall women.
