some opening thoughts

to be honest, I was looking frward to this play primarily because of the heavy amount
of humor. Honestly, its wonderful to have a break from Bernarda Alba (suicide... ) and Hedda Gabler (hmm another suicide). there was a note of maturity, however, as I find it extremely interesting. I am particularly intrigued about the fact that Aristophanes wrote a play about
the power of a woman. I mean that he's totally ahead of his time-it went against what we'd normally consider the ancient Greeks to believe.
