Dialectic Dialogue

This play has very interesting dialogue and what fastinated me the most about the dialogue was the different dialects in which the people spoke... for example Lysistrata spoke very proper and formal to all of the people throughout the play, however there was a character by the name of Lampito i believe that spoke with a very mountainous southern drawl and that helped me to form opinions on both of the characters and how they act. I pictured Lampito to be not as educated as Lysistrata, but certainly as brave as her ... i pictured her as the strong farmer woman type that would fight for a cause she believed noble and that is just what she did through the play
