Quote #10
Medea: I have no father, home, defense from danger.
Oh, the mistake I made was when I left his house (137)
Often in the play, Medea expresses deep regret at having made herself an exile. She seems especially regretful about severing ties from her father. This distance from her dad is, perhaps, the worst exile she's had to endure.
