Medea Text Response Help!!!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me with this Medea prompt? I've got a few ideas but not enough to write a whole essay on, especially in an exam.
This is the prompt:
‘Characters display both cool logic and fiery emotion in Medea, but Euripides is supportive of neither.’ Discuss.

These are my ideas so far:
Cool logic -
Jason’s reasons for abandoning Medea - betrayal leaves her distraught. Euripides doesn’t approve of this

Fiery emotion -
Medea’s decision to kill 4 ppl leads to the end of Jason’s legacy and a kingdom with no royalty - he is left with nothing. Euripides doesn’t approve of this but approves of balance.

I want to have at the least 3 body paragraphs, maybe even 4. Can anyone give me some ideas??? It would be much appreciated :)

Where and how does Euripides specifically disapprove this?

Talk about how and why Euripides does not approve of Medea but accepts of her balance. Where does he imply this? Be specific, if it's in a certain Episodeion then state this.

Your third paragraph [3 is fine] could be perhaps that Medea can also be cool and logical, in her manipulative actions with King Creon, King Aegeus and Jason. Medea displays logic when she thoroughly plans her extra day in Corinth, as well as her execution to murder these people.
Also she is aware of her crimes, it's not like she just killed them sporadically, talk about that her anger can also be logical.

Hope this somewhat helps,

Feel free to post a rough essay and i can have a look over it for you :)
