Product Description

These are the 'Cliff Notes' on Aristophanes' Comedies. Lysistrata, The Birds, The Clouds, and The Frogs.

Aristophanes's plays were comedies, satires, and politically charged. Lysistrata is perhaps his most famous, dealing with the power of sex and war in a society where women have control.

Understanding the comic masterpieces of Aristophanes 10 Jun 2001
By Lawrance M. Bernabo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This Cliffs Notes volume looks at four comedies by Aristophanes, but begins by looking at the three great Greek writers of tragedy, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, in order to put the work of the comic playwright in appropriate context. "Lysistrata," the celebrated anti-war play, is covered by providing a List of Characters, followed by Summaries and Commentaries on each scene of the play. However, the other three plays by Aristophanes are covered without breaking the plays into discrete units (although the authors do discuss the specific structure of Greek plays in their analysis of "The Birds"). For two of the plays, "The Birds" and "The Frogs," there are specific points of analysis signposted in the commentary section, but for the most part this little yellow book with the black stripes deals with these plays comprehensively. Those who like to find specific sections dealing with particular literary elements will find this volume to be a little less user-friendly. As always, the analysis is first rate, especially if you have read the plays are therefore able to absorb the additional insights.

Pretty useless. 25 Jan 2004
By MAB - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Aristophanes' Lysistrata: The Birds, The Clouds, The Frogs (Cliffs Notes)" - I only used these "Cliffs Notes" for the play "Lysistrata." I didn't find it extremely helpful. Symbolism, themes, and motifs weren't clearly stated. I do not recommend.
