Resumo: This paper looks into the characterization of the figure of Medea in Euripides’ homonymous play. At first, I consider how her speeches conform to speech patterns usually identified as feminine in tragedy and how she uses deceptive expressions of submission to dupe her opponents. Secondly, I investigate to what extent her linguistic characterization also contains traces of a heroism more typically masculine, offering a glimpse of the fears and anxieties underlying feminine stereotypes of tragedy.

At first, I consider how her speeches conform to speech patterns usually identified as feminine in tragedy and how she uses deceptive expressions of submission to dupe her opponents. Secondly, I investigate to what extent her linguistic characterization also contains traces of a heroism more typically masculine, offering a glimpse of the fears and anxieties underlying feminine stereotypes of tragedy. Este trabalho examina a caracterização da personagem Medeia na tragédia homônima de Eurípides. Em primeiro lugar, observo como os seus discursos se conformam aos padrões de fala geralmente identificados como femininos na tragédia e como ela usa falsas fórmulas de submissão para enganar seus adversários. Em segundo lugar, investigo em que medida sua caracterização linguística também contém traços de um heroísmo mais tipicamente masculino, deixando entrever medos e angústias subjacentes aos estereótipos femininos da tragédia. Proaera-UFRJCAPESCrepaldi, Clara Lacerda2020-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo de convidadoapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/3282010.25187/codex.v8i1.32820CODEX -- Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 8, n. 1 (2020); 242-258CODEX - Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 8, n. 1 (2020); 242-2582176-177910.25187/codex.v8i1reponame:Codex : Revista de Estudos Clássicosinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)instacron:UFRJporhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/32820/19887/*ref*/ALLAN, William.
