Jason's motivation
Jason's motivation is fear and a need for security and power he is also driven by revenage toward Medea for taking his security and power from him. Jason fear is driven by who Medea is and her personality to kill without thinking to get what she wants. Jason need for security and power is reveal by him divorcing Medea and marrying Creon's daughter. This action would have given him security in life both politicaly and financialy with wealth that being a king or a prince brings.

Evidence:

"Does she think that she can kill a princess and a country's king and vanish with impunity?"(73).

"I'll show you, first, it was an act of common sense,"(50).
