What is the gender reversal role in Lysistrata an Aristophanes play?
Aristophanes has wrapped a grave issue of war and peace in a highly comic style. through the issues of war and peace making,the idea of negligence of the men towards women is also put forth. the playwright not only highlights men's neglection towards their family but also to their society. instead,it's the woman who's taking care of her family as well as the society. Lysistrata takes a bold step,of conducting a sex strike in order to make the men realize of their duties. according to the Athenian law,men and women are alloted with certain duties and responsibilities. those duties involve men to protect and take care of their family and society,while the women are assigned with the role of nurturing and raising children and families. in this way,the men are completely getting astrayed from their duty; they are not helping their women to produce and raise a family. so,the idea of gender reversal is women taking up men's job of maintaining harmony. also, Aristophanes lets the women to take over the acropolis,the center of treasury. women step out of the oikus ,which represents the values of home. if women step out of their threshold,it means some major problem has occurred. women have become the masculine,which means that they are doing it to bring back the melody of the state. they are inverting the normal. nevertheless,a society which ignores the female,that society is sterile and lack emotional foundations. while,the one that ignores the male is plunged in inter-familial feuding. so,the male and female should work in tandem- the oikus and polis should work together. Lysistrata is then,portraying the necessity of ceasing the wars,and looking forward to world peace.
