Is this play REALLY a positive for women?
Well, is it positive? These women are abstaining from sex to get their husbands and sons to end the war. They are using their body as a tool. Is that good? Let's look at it from the male angle. Are men so attached to sex that they would end a war for it? I think this play could possibly give a negative image to both sexes. I think this play may degrade humans as a whole. Or is it just human nature? You see both sexes falter at points, so I don't think one sex is stronger than the other. Either this play is very liberating or degrading, I can't decide.

Wow, I never really thought abotu things that way. I guess the whole sexual aspect of the play does make both sexes look bad, however, I think that this book does not mean to make women look bad at all, but rather show how our values are prioritized and how when someone wants change, they must make their goal by whatever means necessary. I guess I can see both arguments...liberating AND degrading..I say that it is both :)
I mean I don't think this play was meant to be degrading to either side. I just think it is one way you could look at it.
