Although I enjoyed reading the material of Lysitrata in the sense it was a good story, much of the comedy was lost for me, maybe it had to do with the translation of the text or maybe, as I posted in my previous blog this type of comedy (sex jokes and swears) is just so overplayed in today’s world. I mean I could recognize the comedy and appreciate it for its originality of the time but for me personally hearing a joke about an erection- although quite funny in middle school- just doesn’t really seem cut it anymore. am i wrong in thinking so? to not appricate aristophanese genious? well as it is emotionally depicted in this photo of lenny bruce, i could care less i just dont tink its that funny.
