This article focuses on "Purgatorio" (2006), a play by Ariel Dorfman that revises the Medea and Jason myth. After a brief description of the play, this study analyses the most significant aspects of its treatment as “extended myth” and “subverted myth”, and its metafictional character; it also compares this play with other contemporary rewrites of the myth. Thus, we aim to show that the purpose of "Purgatorio" is to inquire into the psychological mechanisms that determine our emotional relationships and the way we suffer and forgive the violence that we exert over each other.
