Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Though the women are looking to have more freedom and to have peace in the area, they seem to be going about it by playing on stereotypes they're trying to dismiss.

Part 1: Why did the women choose sex as the bargaining chip in the fight for peace?

Part 2: Do you think tempting the men is a strong way of showing the men that they are the more powerful sex? Why or why not?

Part 3: Does the idea of women using lust to gain power seem to support feminism or not? Why?

Essay Topic 2

What's compelling about this play is that in the quest for peace, the women fight with the men - which seems to be a contradiction.

Part 1: Does one always have to fight for peace? Why or why not?

Part 2: Why do you think the women thought it was okay to fight the men to get what they wanted?

Part 3: Do you think the women are being hypocritical in fighting the men on their journey toward peace? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 3

Within the play, the women and men fight for their 'rights' in society - women to have freedom and men to have power.

Part 1: Why do you think women feel they need to have more freedom now?

Part 2: Why do you think the men believe women's freedom is immoral?

Part 3: In fighting to have more, each of the genders seems to play into the stereotypes placed upon them. Why do you think this is the case?
