Both Kleonike and Myrrhina are leading women that are apart of the oath created by Lysistrata. They are like sidekicks to that of Lysistrata. Kleonike is the neighbor of Lysistrata and was the first person to come to the meeting held by Lysistrata pertaining to the oath. Myrrhina is a good friend of Lysistra. With the three working together, in combination with the rest of the women, the men would have a force to recon with.

Why is it that all of the men in this play are very weak in comparison with the women? Even when it came to the Chorus of Men and the Chorus of Women. The Chorus of Women had seized Akropolis from the Chorus of Men. The women are constantly manipulating the men on all levels. Even Lysistrata is able to sway the Commissioner to come to a consensus with her pertaining to the future of Athens.

Kinesias is quite the character. He could be used as a prime example as to how the men really are and how they really feel about the whole situation about the oath. He tries his hardest to try and have sex with his wife. But, little did he know, he was being manipulated by his wife in order to leak the truth out of him about the whole male take of the oath. Just when he thought he was seconds away from getting some, he was seconds away from getting none!

Honestly, what else could have possibly worked in order to keep the men away from war? Nothing at all if you ask me. The men don't care about anything except for their own pleasures. Sex is the most pleasurable way to satisfy someone. I know the guy's mindset was as long as they had sex, they were good, and the women, or Lysistrata for that matter, had to have figured this out, thus, resulting in the oath that was created.

If the men were not to give in to the women's oath, I do believe that the women would have eventually given in themselves. I mean, I could see if there was a certain time restraint in which they were to follow by, but to go on forever without sex would be unthinkable. That goes for the men as well. In my opinion, I feel as if both the men and women sees sex as a necessity, and to go without it could be dangerous for them.

Out of all of the possible choices, Lysistrata wants to take sex away from the men. That's just messed up. Knowing how horny those men were in that play, I'm surprised none of the men went all suicidal on us. That stand could have been the destruction of the men all together. I'm even surprised the men lasted as long as they did... Good job guys!

In my opinion, women disobedience plays a significant role throughtout the play. To me, it symbolizes how women can think on their own as well as make appropriate decisions during this time era. their disobedience shows their power against the oppression of men. By refusing to have sex, something in which the men want dearly, shows their ability to control the men in a sense. This gives them the right to make the men do as they say in order for the men to receive pleasures, something the women are refusing to give up.

In today's society, fornication is at an all-time high. Nowadays, people fornicate just for the fun of it. The idea of staying away from what so many people want, which is that of sex, is quite the task. I honestly don't see how the women were able to maintain their composure with this oath presented by Lysistrata.

Although an oath was made for the women to stay away from sex, I believe that only a handful of women would be able to truly withstand it. These women, in my opinion, are the ones that feel as if Lysistrata had some sort of impact on them and feel the need to pay her back. On the contrary, I do believe that the bulk of the women did not want to take part in the oath. These were the people which could not go without the likes of sex, or fornication for that matter.

Lysistrata...

Wat lysistrata did in order to refrain the men from war was clever. the main reason y i say this is because it worked, first and foremost, and the simple fact that it was a pretty good idea. She took away from the men wat they all desire, and was the likes of sex. Lysistrata got the women to participate in her experiment, and it turned out successful. The men could not help themselves and gave in to the women for what they wanted.
