well i must say that im a lil happy that no women died in this book. It about time we see some strong women come out successful in the end.. it started with House of Bernarda Alba where Adela kills herself...WEAK...then Hedda Gabler where Hedda kills herself..WEAK..finally we come to a strong, intelligent, and well rounded women..Lysistrata. She shows how more women should be in this world..outspoken...and not afraid to take a stand in whatt she believes in. Lysistrata was a good transition from all the death and weak women we read about previously and glad the women came out on top...haha!!
well yea overall i didn't really like the context but other than that it was ok..i just felt like i supposed to have previous knowledge on Greek mythology to get a good understanding of the book...but that's the only problem i encountered..
Peace Out Lys!

I was kinda thinking the same thing when I finished the book too. I was just waiting for Lysistrata to fall and break her neck or something, but it obviously never happened. Because all of the women lived through to end, I think it's a refreshing change from what we began the year reading, but I think I'm ready to get back to women dying for some reason
no one died so it would fit the whole idea of having no mixing between comedy or tragedy (Aristotle's Theory of Drama).
woah brianne!!!! HYPENESS lol
I also liked that Lysistrata was a change from the fairly depressing mood of Hedda and Bernarda. It was certainly more fun to read.
I guess we were all to used to women end up dead at the end but this is thankfully not like the other things we've read
