What is it all about, dear Lysistrata, That you've called the women hither in a troop? |
For the Lysistrata is a political play, and cannot be discussed profitably apart from its political ideas and arguments. |
And here we return to the question of the immorality of Lysistrata. |
An example of a satire would be Nikolai Gogol's The Government Inspector and Aristophanes' Lysistrata. |
Lysistrata is the wife of an Athenian magistrate, and has been strongly affected by the ill success of the Peloponnesian War. |
The mouths of the heralds of the Lysistrata were set in one curve of comedy throughout the play. |
