As humans, our natural instinct is to get angry and want revenge to whoever did us wrong. While it seems like a good idea in the moment, in the long run it does you no good. Fighting fire with fire will only make matters worse. Sometimes I don't even follow this advice, and the issues come back around and bite me in the butt. In my life, there has never been a time where revenge was the right thing todo, and good consequences came out of it.
For Medea's sake, Jason did do an awful thing to her that no woman should go through. While turning against her was ghastly, Medea's plan for revenge was in no way justifiable. To get back at Jason, her plan required the death of her children. As a consequence of Medea not being able to turn the other cheek, her innocent children's lives were on the line. While I say Medea was wrong to get revenge, she did have every right to be mad and disgusted towards Jason but it does not measure up to the ugly deeds Medea did.
