Lysistrata=the Man no the WOMAN
Lysistrata was a awesum play... the plot was interestingly smooth if you ask me... I enjoyed it a lot becuz this play wasn't the vessel of confussion, lik the others plays...and there were no sudden tragedy. I think aristophanes wrote Lysistrata that way becuz the play is all about women's power. And if you think about it baq in Aristophanes tyme women were verii smooth creaters, they didn't have to much drama and they weren't made for all the up's and downs. And 2 name the play after the main character was genius, bcuz she deserves that much credit!!!! She shamed the commissioner, desciplined the women of her community by making them strong against the men, and was the main cause behing the ending of the war.She's superwomen, xcept not... lolz...

Lysistrata is the WOMAN i agree, she was able to accomplish alot, The play deserves to be named after her because of all the good she accomplished and because of the strength she had.
I also think that Lysistrata was a guenius! She was able to keep the women in line and successfully complete the misson of achieving peace by practicing abstinence. However, the plot of the play was too smooth. It seemed that not too much action happened. The House of Bernarda Alba and Hedda Gabler were full of twists and turns so many events occurred. Lysistrata was ve predictable yet still interesing!
I will have to agree with you guys. I think that Lysistrata was a powerful person who used her power in order to restore order and to make the society better for others.
