As we see, conflict between the sexes is one of the main themes of the Lysistrata. In your main thread, discuss your general thoughts on the play as a whole, and along the way, address some or all of the following:
- What seems to be the real motivation for women to withhold sex?
- In your opinion, is women’s strategy to withhold sex an effective approach to carry out their plan? Why or why not?
- Do you think the men are being treated unfairly in this play?
- Do you think the withholding of sex would work in modern times? Why or why not?
