- Euripides’ Medea has been called “a frame of reference to Carr’s play”. Using quotes and specific examples
from the plays to help support and illustrate your own observations, compare and contrast Marina Carr’s By the
Bog of Cats and Euripides’ Medea in terms of their main characters Medea and Hester. Consider their shared
themes relating to gender, societal norms, home and displacement. Be creative, specific, and use
quotes/examples from the play to help support your work.
