Lysistrata Part: 4

Grade: not needed as today i was absent

Play Entry:
Today I finished Lysistrata. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the rest of the play. In the nortons anthology, there were some homosexual references and jokes about the spartan life style, which confused me because I thought there really wasn't a "gay" concept. Not only was it mentioned as an odd way to be, but there were some jokes about it. Could the negative connotation have started already? At the very end there is a lot of the chorus singing, and that kind of set me off from it. I still don't enjoy reading those parts, it's harder for me to follow. Over all though, I really loved this play and hopefully someone will be putting it on around here. That would be beast.
