Spectacle(pronounced Speck-tac-le)
In lysistrata, for my creative and required 12-18 minute presentation, i, partnered with joelle wood, was assigned spectacle. I at first thought that this would be the most interesting, and was anticipating working on this, but those feeling eventually subsided, as i learned that it was not going to be nearly as interesting as language. The most notable thing in spectacle is that constant use of the props to h show penises. this really disappointed me, as i was tired of talking about penises in realation to the play, as they lost their humor factor, they had been literally exhausted beyond belief. Of course, in spectacle penises play a very improtant role, a role of differenciation. The props of the penis is used to highlight the differences between the men and the women, of which there are many in this play, in fact this whole play and all of it's themes seem to be centered around the differences of women and men, and how there are manifested in brains vs. brawn, the underestimation of women, the war between the sexes, and make love not war, but i digress. this prop, as well as costume use, to show the differences between men and women are very easily distinguished as the play goes on, if only for the densisty of those fallice props and costumes. I will not go into how they distinguish them and to what extent, that you will have to wait until our presentation.
