page 64, the Chorus of men

I find it very clear that there is a meaning behind the capitalization of the words WOMEN and
DICTATORSHIP. The men claim that the women have placed a shroud over the city- this
reinforces their negative view of the rule of women, and how stubborn they are at this point in
accepting it until war ends. Its intersting how they connect the women with dictatorship, how the simple capitalization of the words makes their true power even more important. I saw it
pewrsonally, as an exclamation of female authority, how it is so revolutionary in this ancient society.
