Lysistrata - Final Thoughts

Lysistrata was amazing in comparison to HoBA and Hedda Gabbler. I think the main reason I liked it was because it had a happy ending, and I knew quite a bit about Greek life and history before even reading it. Lysistrata was clean-cut, it was very simple to understand (at least for me, I've heard differently from others). Although I did like certain aspects of HoBA and Hedda Gabbler (Hedda is still my favorite character with whom we've been acquainted thus far), I found Lysistrata to be the most enjoyable. I found it interesting how even though it was a totally different type of literature, some of the themes from the three texts we've read so far over-lap, such as gender roles/ the role of women, who maintains the power, etc. And last but not least, I really like saying the name "Kleonike," it's so genuinly Greek.
