The theme of Nakedness revealing all(which is a pun) is also applicable to the initial problem of the play: the war itself. If we look at the power and the control each nation wanted to usrp in order to control the entire country as wine you could say that while drunk with the power and glory that it had acquired, Athens revealed its true intentions of controling all the other city-states. So to make this a little bit more clear
- Symbolism
- Nakedness= loss of inhibitions/honesty
- Wine= power
- Wine--> loss of inhibition= revealation of intent
- Athens= drinker
Not that that list helped but what I'm trying to say is that...

This l;ist had helped me as I had no clue where to look for symbolism, thanks :. I mean, I was ready lysistrata for the comedy. not symbolism, which kind of sux, cuz I enjoied it but didn't absorbed all that symbolism shiz
i like the symbols u came up w/ i think they're good esp the idea of loss of inhebitions being wine. i think in order to disrupt the society and way that their culture worked the womyn had to do that.
that's a good point. way to clear it up for a lot of us. the athenins as the drinkers of the wine which is the loss of inhibion is a good theme that runs deep throughout the book.
