How is Lysistrata a misbehaving woman in her cultural context? Women may be seen as behaving badly throughout history, however the cultural context they belong to defines what is evil and what is not. Context has been seen to influence values ​​and attitudes to a large extent, thus determining how a text should be viewed. Aristophanes' Lysistrata was written in ancient Greek times, so Lysistrata must be seen as a woman who behaved badly compared to the values ​​and attitudes of her time. In the following paragraphs, Lysistrata will be discussed as a misbehaving woman in the cultural context of ancient Greece. In the opening of the play, Lysistrata calls a meeting with all the women and women's representatives of Athens and Sparta to discuss what they should do about the war, “I have called a meeting to discuss a very important matter…” as Lysistrata states while wait for the other women to arrive. This is his bad behavior in ancient Greece as women were not supposed to call meetings of any form, this was seen as a male privilege because women were not considered intelligent enough. The men, however, do not respond to Lysistrata's summons, as they do not know of the women's union until they have taken the Acropolis. The meeting is called to discuss Lysistrata's idea of ​​how to prevent men from waging war. his idea is to give up sex. «Very good then. We must give up sex…” Lysistrata tells the women for the first time what they must do and Myrrha makes a vow on behalf of all the women: “But I will never willingly give myself up to him.” - talking about their husbands. This is Lysistrata behaving badly as in ancient Greek times, as sex was expected of men from women, women had no control over their bodies, and sex was not something they had the power to give or withhold at will. The men react to this in a way that suggests they cannot live without sex and are resolving the entire war based on Lysistrata's assurance that their wives will be returned to them once they do, “Allies, lady? Look at the state we are in! We know what the allies will want: like us: shit!!” Lysistrata's next move will be to capture the Acropolis with the help of the other women. “[All the women retreat to the Acropolis and the doors are closed.]” As indicated by a prop. This is bad behavior... middle of paper... mes. The first is that he sees it as his job or role to bring peace: “Why don't we ask Lysistrata to join us? She is the only person who can bring about true reconciliation." Even though men accepted her dominance at that time, she still acts crazy evolving in men's affairs, peace being linked to war and war being a male-dominated environment. The final way Lysistrata misbehaves contextually in the play is through her order to the men: "Now you Spartans stand right next to me on this side, and you Athenians on that side, and listen to what I have to say." . Once again at this point in the play the men have accepted Lysistrata's rule as it will be the quickest way for them to get what they want, however traditionally she acts out of place giving orders to her superiors, or how the men were seen in antiquity. Greece. Lysistrata misbehaves throughout the play, she misbehaves, verbally and physically, both in her own actions and those of those who follow her. However it can only be seen as his misbehavior, although the context in which the work was written as the context has a great impact on the values ​​and..
