Lysistrata Post #4: Myrrhine & Kinesias

WOW!!!!!!! This scene was priceless!!!! The women really played a number on him. Lysistrata warmed him up by saying how much his wife missed him and how much she loved him. Lysistrata described it to the point where Myrrhine could not do anything without mentioning Kinesias. Then she comes in for the kill. She offered to have sex with him and he was ready to go right there on the spot. LOL, but she drives him crazy with all the things she brings. LOL, one of my favorite quotes from this scene was "I was up before I was up.." Anyways, this part shows that the women in the play are fully capable of stepping outside their traditional roles. No one thought they could be excellent strategists in this "war of the sexes."

I thought it was funny too bcuz he really thought she was about to have sex with him. He was so desperate he was willing to do it outside and thats wat really shocked me! THat was one of those scenes with alot of sexual puns in it bcuz every single pun was related to Kinesias and his "situation" LOL...supsupsup!

I love the part when Kinesias said " I was up b4 I was up".....it shows how the men really were affected by the strike, but its pretty sad that the men lasted less than 24 hrs.
