I learn about literary plots,
electronic research, and
citing references by
completing this activity.
The problem
is not the

the problem
is your
attitude
about the
problem.

2. PLOT or STORYLINE
 Short definition: “Medea takes vengeance on
Jason by killing Jason's new wife as well as her
own children with him, after which she escapes to
Athens to start a new life.”

 In my own words: Medea wants to revenge to his
husband because his husband wanted to marry
the princess. As a revenge, he killed the king,
princess and all his children.
 My example: I took my brothers’ shoes for my P.E
class and as a revenge, he also took my shirt
without my permission but in the end were still
brothers and we have to share our things
together.

I took my brothers’

class.
Me and my brother
were very close.

argued.

as a revenge.
We share all things
from now on.

5. RISING ACTION
 Short definition: Creon shows up and tells
Medea that she and her two sons are banished.
Medea's been talking too much trash about the
marriage, and the King is afraid she might do
something drastic, like kill everybody. Our
heroine pulls on Creon's heartstrings and
convinces him to let her stay one more day. As
soon as the King is out of earshot, Medea swears
to murder him and his daughter.
 http://www.shmoop.com/medea/plot-analysis.html
 In my own words: King Creon wants Medea to
be vanished from Corinth. Medea swore a
threat of killing him and his daughter.
 My example: I took my brothers’ shoes for my P.E
class.

6. TURNING POINT
 Short definition: Medea tricks Aegeus, King of
Athens, into offering her sanctuary. Now she has
somewhere to run after she does her killings. She
manipulates Jason and her sons into taking the
Princess some cursed gifts. As a result, both
Creon and his daughter are burned alive by
magic flame.
 http://www.shmoop.com/medea/plot-
analysis.html
 In my own words: Medea greatly planned on
how she would kill King Creon and his daughter
using her own son.
 My example: I planned how to get my brothers’
shoes without him noticing it.

7. CLIMAX
 Short definition: After savoring all the gory details
of the royal family's incineration, Medea
proceeds to the final, and most painful, step in
her plan. In order to wound Jason as deeply as
she possibly can, she takes their two sons inside
and kills them with a sword.
 http://www.shmoop.com/medea/plot-

 In my own words: Medea killed her children
because she thinks that it is the only way to hurt
Jason.
 My example: My brother and I argued.

8. FALLING ACTION

his sons. He batters on the door of the house
trying to get inside. Before he can get in, Medea
erupts into the sky in her private dragon chariot.
She mocks Jason from the sky with her two boys'
corpses beside her.
