1st Body Paragraph Jason: Throughout the play of Medea, Jasons rash decisions unintentionally bring disaster upon

himself. The fact that he had believed that Medea had a change of heart in such a brief amount of time proves not only how gullible Jason is, but rather how manipulative Medea is. Having attained Jasons trust she could maneuver Jason like a puppet on her hand. She now had turned the tables and had complete control of the situation she was put into by her once husband and now enemy, Jason. Furthermore, letting Medea present his newly wedded wife with extravagant gifts such as a golden tiara and a dazzling veil was purely absurd on Jasons part. These acts of bestowment were all part of Medeas plan to buy Creon and Cruesas friendship. Little did Creusa know these would be the last gifts she would receive, for when she tried on the veil she caught fire. Almost instantly Creon was attempting to extinguish the fire, but found himself fusing to his daughter. Within minutes the two laid dead, and Jason was without a wife and father-in-law. It is ironic that ones pleasure is anothers pain. However, all of these harmful acts could have avoided if not for the negligence of Jason.
