Medea, Must the Children Die?

Task
 

 

Your first task will be to persuade Medea to either kill or save her children. You will have to make a clear and strong argument, remember everything you know about Medea, including the prequel story, "Jason and the Golden Fleece". Write Medea a two page letter explaining why you believe she should or should not kill her beloved children. Be sure to use the play as a reference.
