In Reimagining Greek Tragedy on the American Stage, classicist Helene P. Foley writes:

"As a whole, U.S. Medeas tend above all to represent the play's complex and multi- faceted heroine as the wronged, if horrific, cultural 'other'...Medea's articulate otherness permits her to become not only a feminist critic, which she is in part in the original play, but a broader and more pointedly ironic and/or witty social critic, with American religious and cultural prejudices a major target." Analyze Luis Alfaro's drama "Mojada", an adaptation of Medea, and its depiction of the "wronged, if horrific, cultural 'other.'" How does Medea's "articulate otherness," aligned since the time of Euripides with vernacular traditions such as healing practices and even witchcraft, allow us to view American cultural values (individualism, assimilation, capitalism) in a more critical light?
