- Where have we seen critiques of gender roles (think Medea)? Are these plays, by Aristophanes, a call for more fair treatment of women? Are they subversive, in that sense, or are they in fact fairly conservative in their views towards women? More specific questions: how contrast the characterization of women and man in these plays (use specific examples). Follow up a series of images (fire/water, wool).
