“The
Wasps”
Questions about the autor
Which kind of author lies upon
The wasps? Aristophanes, from my
point of view is the one who sets the tone in political literature, it could be
considered the first authors of this item if not the first. He is interested in
what society involves.
Did he have in
mind any reader? Yes, this book is aimed at Greek society. It reflects
the situation in which the Greek people, where political interests outweighed
the needs of the people, an achievement that the Greeks identified with their
works is immersed.
Did he set a
specific contract on it? Yes, I cause a few laughs because while generating
awareness about the urgency for better management of government, somewhat
sarcastically mocks the situation of society.
Questions about
Sources
Is History the real and direct source? Yes, we can
fully be sure, that what Aristophanes exposes us is real, since all these
problems developed in his time, as he wrote the work.
How far personal
affairs influence the Plot? Much since the failure to agree on various leaves his
stamp on the work, like the bad relationship between father and son is
reflected finally makes clear its view, reflects their biases without problem.
Is this a
theater-play about Justice?
If, as you write something that can go on stage,
besides that is written as a theatrical script and plot are the central
political issues.
Conclusion
It's a comic book, in which a critical unusual
structure and governance of the Greek society arises. What really surprises me
is how men do not learn from mistakes, always fall on the same stone, this work
is a reflection of that.
Honestly I can not tell whether coincidence or not,
but it seems that author had presaged the future, since it is a perfect copy of
our society today.
Finally in the literary aspect, highly recommend the work, it marks a
before and now comedy, break all schemes, it criticizes and makes comedy at a
time. And makes it clear that the theater are actions that can display on stage
