Oral Analysis

So we have this oral due

and my group has to study THEME

so broad but I think we're getting the hang of it.


We decided to look at the motifs of household and domestic articles that influence the stereotypes of women in Lysistrata.

That's a lot of work and so little time! But we're dicussing the role of women using modern, traditional, and roles seen in Lysistrata.

Things I found in Lysistrata that helps show the portrayal of women:
fabric
chores
household appliances
spindle

We'll be analyzing all these motifs and connecting them with the theme of the portrayal of women.

Honestly, I think you're pretty lucky to have theme. I have spectacle, and it's pretty hard to say how the sound effects relate to the plot or the characters. For theme, all you have to do is find reoccuring motifs that relate to a certain theme, and you're done. When it comes to the portrayal of women, I think you might want to look at the interactions between the men and women in the play

Yeah but it's going to have to require a lot of reading and re-reading :( but I undertand where you're coming from.
