Lysistrata Part: I

Grade: 100- I think i should receive a 100 for today because I outlined as requested, understanding the text as I went. I behaved during the fire drill/pull. I've also started this blog.

Play Entry:
This translation is quite hilarious. It's funny to see how blunt the greek humor was. I'm starting to see the "uselessness" of women. Also the disrespect men had for them. What's kind of confusing is the women's plan. They agree to not have sex with their husbands, but then they hold themselves up in Athena's temple? I don't know if this is to get the men's attention, to pray for Athena's help or I'm just reading something wrong.lol. It seems that women, esp. elder women, are disposable. On the lookout for a thesis for this paper.
