Nice job on the article. It is clear and comes from a neutral point of view. The plot, with the box by its side listing the characters, is a great format. The historical background section does a very nice job of concisely explaining the background in an understandable way. I particularly enjoyed the longest word information, which is a fun and exciting piece of information. Well done! Joshuachasegold (talk) 21:54, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's time we recognize the blatant disgusting sexism that this article promotes. I've added the obvious distinction that this play is disgustingly misogynistic. I assume there won't be any issues as wikipedia is a known progressive encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.165.143 (talk) 04:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's news to me. When did we get progressive? Dimadick (talk) 08:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"The play portrays a common view of women at the time."

How do we know this? We know very little about the "common view[s] of women" in Athenian society. The statement is vague and unsubstantiated. Dwstultz (talk) 17:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although I did not write this myself, I believe it to be more or less correct. See for example: Sommerstein (2007) 149n119-120, 158n215-228, 159n224, 159n225, 160n236, 160n238, cf. 150n132. I could go on, but this should suffice. I'm putting it in again and expanding a little based on this source. Bahnheckl (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One the analysis section some views are stated as incorrect, without further references to the writer of the view, without the rest of the article suggesting this direction. Just to note that an earlier version of the article, now deleted, referenced writers elaborating on the opposite view. Doesn't the present form suggest a clear POV editing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.176.73.108 (talk) 17:22, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"All the interesting threads of the play, unfortunately, go nowhere, and the play ends with a party scene that comes across as something of a non-sequitur."

- the way this line is worded, especially using the word "unfortunately", makes it sound pretty POV. Although it may have some interesting ideas, it's main purpose is still comedy, not political treatise. So containing a non-sequitur would be totally appropriate. - Ravenous 18:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed the "party scene" is effectively an epilogue, and an invitation to the audience to come and feast, which I presume was part of the entertainment when the play was first performed. Rich Farmbrough, 17:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC).[reply]

It is comedy on politics, its main theme is a critique of still thriving ideas on the organizing of society. So talking on the work and not talking on the ideas it comments is rather difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.218.58.252 (talk) 16:53, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
