Creon and Medea
deceived by Medea but appears more perceptive than Jason and continues to express concerns about her
looses authority in a scene with Medea but attempts to be decisive (doesn’t want to be a tyrant to attempts to compromise)
underestimates Medea when he feels a day will not be enough
His death
poignant - he does not understand poison has been used and dies trying to help his daughter
