Final Thoughts
Ultimately, I think Lysistrata was the winner by a nose for my favorite reading so far, followed closely by Hedda Gabler, and with The House Of Bernarda Alba a distant third. I think what I liked the most about Lysistrata(the play) was the Lysistrata(the person) was able to effectively gain power without losing control of her own life. It was certainly a welcome change from the sombreness of the previous two plays.

Well put. I never thought of how Lysystrata actually attained power without going crazy in comparison to the other female characters we've looked at in class. Lysistrata was definitely my favorite so far.
I never thought about how Lysistrata was gaining power. Now that I think about it, I very much agree. Lysistrata gained power in such a way that she was able to work with others and not be self-destructive at the same time. I guess that would explain why I like her so much more than the women from the other plays.
