Euripides’ Medea puts up a very strange and ambiguous idea of morality and justice. Even though Medea commits horrendous crimes we are made to question who exactly is the villain in the play.

The times in which Jonathan Swift wrote were certainly grim enough to inspire writing about what a utopian society might resemble, or what it might take to make society better.
