Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of Medea image in eponymous tragedy by Euripides. The authors conclude that the tragedy created the image of a woman with a tragic fate and a passionate nature. The heroine of the tragedy is not ready to put up with fate and therefore begins to fight for justice and self-respect. By her act (killing children out of jealousy for her husband), Medea proves the power of a woman and points to her lack of femininity, which should be expressed in humility, meekness, faith, hope and love. In this regard, the image of Medea is a symbol of evil and the dark sides of the female essence.
