the oath

I know that oaths are a big deal to the Greeks, and especially these women. The first time I read this, though, I felt a bit uneasy. It seems that Kleonike, in particular, was a bit hesitant to actually go through with this. Now this is a single woman, but I wonder.. In the masses of women participating in this, did all of them truly feel about this the way that Lysistrata did, or were they
merely following the crowd?
