Play Meeting

Lysistrata

Oedipus: Oh how nice of you all to come meet ME for a nice dinner

Oedipus: "Oh how nice of you all to come meet ME for dinner"

Lysistrata: "Hush why don't you Oedipus! You men are here for the lady aren't you?"

Hamlet: "You are just a woman! Thou shall not speak to me with all that makeup on!"

Ernest: " Oh dear, everyone calm down let us not forget what we are here for. Which is ofcourse an amazing meal."

Ernest: "So what do you say, now that it has become a topic at hand, how are women viewed from your eras of life"

Oedipus: " Well back in our day, women are at the bottom of the barrel, Who needs them when you can have a society of all strong men"

Lystrata:" Well I'll have you know, where I am from women like ME are viewed as strong and great leaders"

Hamlet: "Areth thou to really question me after what I just stated? Lend me your ear and understand this, they are powerless

Lysistrata: "I would very much appreciate if we could leave this matter alone"

Oedipus: "Aside from this, you know Hamlet we are very similar you know"

Hamlet: " My good friend how so?"

Ernest: " I would say that you are both fools! Ha!"

Oedipus: "An honest answer, but stilll wrong. We are both truth seekers are heart!"

Hamlet: "Ah yes, I do suppose we are, as truth is what our hearts most desire."

Ernest: " Yes the truth, something that I tend to hide for the best from others."

Lysistrata: " You guys do not know anything about the truth, if you did you would respect us women more!"

Oedipus: "Listen to me. Why not talk about something we all share."

Ernest: "Yes but what would that be, the closest thing I could thing of is we are basically all males but we are not."

Hamlet: "Tis plain to the eye, we are all tragic heroes my dear fellow."

Lysistrata: " For once I can agree with you Hamlet, indeed we are heroes."

Lysistrata: " I may not be as tragic, but I am for sure a hero to all women of Greece, fighting for out rights"

Ernest: "I for one can attest to that idea, I struggle myself between two personalities unsure of which is best."

Hamlet: "Indeed I am one as well, my only flaw of procrastination eventually led to my downfall what a shame."

Oedipus: "Ah yes, my comrades the same as I, carrying the burden of being a tragic hero how unpitiful

Starting off, I felt it was most appropriate for Oedipus to begin the conversation as he was a King and views of himself highly. I began with a conflict of gender as each had respective views on the subject

I felt it was important to describe each views as the subject, allowing for each to understand each others eras as there may be similarties

This panel is a lot more simpler than others, it focuses more on establishing a connection between two characters as well as showing how Ernest uses comedy to make light of the situation.

After finding what they have in common, I took the opportunity to describe how it compares to Ernest as well as throwing in action from Lysistrata, as her truth could be seen as different from the others.

Here we build a connection between all 4 characters, the characteristic of being a hero. I believe if they were willing at a table together, they would want to know something they ALL share in common as small talk

Here we finish up the conversation by exemplifying how they portray this characteristic. Even though they are all similar, they are still different. Again I included humorous tone from Ernest as it is a major part of his character.

Ernest: "I believe I smell our food! Hold off on meaningless conversation while we dine!"
