Lysistrata Conclusion (Final Thoughts)
Overall I think Lysistrata is a good play, but there is still a lot of things I'm confused about in the play. Despite that it was a good play and I thought it was better than Hedda Gabler. At the end of Lysistrata an agreement is made between Athens and Sparta which ends the war in Greece. The men basically couldn't go any longer without their women which means Lysistrata's plan was successful. I still don't feel that the women are equal to the men in the play because it seems like they only agreed because they wanted to have sex again and not because the women are equal to them. Anyways Lysistrata united Greece like she wanted to do and the war is over.

Hi Mohammed! I agree with you on the fact that although the women were successful in ending the war, they didn't truly establish equality for themselves. Even the way the men treated peace as a woman at the end showed that they viewed these woman as a source of sexual pleasure and not as their equal partners in life. However, I liked Hedda Gabler better it seems like more happened in that story than in Lysistrata.
