MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A former adventurer, he abandons his wife, Medea, in order to marry Glauce, the beautiful young daughter of Creon, King of Corinth. Hoping to advance his station through this second marriage, he only fuels Medea to a revenge that includes the deaths of his new bride, her father, and his children. His tactless self-interest and whiny rationalizations of his own actions make him a weak, unsympathetic character.
