# Page Description This is a page of running dialogue text (page 20) from a dramatic work. It presents a scene from Euripides' *Medea*, formatted as a play script with character names in capitals followed by their spoken lines. The dialogue shows an exchange between Medea and Creon, touching on themes of exile, loss, love's curse, and suffering. Creon demands Medea leave, threatening his soldiers, while Medea pleads with him. This appears to be a standard dramatic text rather than the sensational penny dreadful promised by the earlier description.
