Austin Community College Lysistrata Play Analysis and Response

 

What are your thoughts on this play? Is it a reasonable solution? Recently Spike Lee’s Chi-raq remade this play in the 21st century. Were you surprised by anything? 150 word

I will share the readings as a video and File.

After that. Can you replay to this discussion board: 50 word

Although the translation of a comedy that is 25 centuries old
makes this read challenging, the plot is very simple, which makes
dialogue enjoyable. In the case of the Peloponnesian War, the message
that I got away was: although the war had been going on for twenty years
when the play was first staged, it still had another seven years to
run, and there was no rational or practical solution to the problems
presented by war. The solution presented does not seem reasonable to me,
especially if I am analyzing it from a modern-day perspective. However,
it did seem to have a greater effect within the play.

I believe “Chi-raq” is a bold adaptation of Lysistrata. This film
is in-your-face, opinionated, and instigative. In my opinion, this
adaptation of Lysistrata is surprisingly close to the original.
The film follows the same plot path and is spoken entirely in verse,
just like the ancient play.
