So we meet the magistrate. Is that similar to a mayor or council man? Because that's what I was getting, that he's some sort of government official. I think it's great that Lysistrata gets to just go off on him. He's extremely ignorant and he thinks he's this amazing politician, when I can picture him as this fat, balding, old man, not cut out for war.
Though I love picking up on the humor in this. It wasn't always easy to find humor in Shakespeare and Fuenteovejuna, Tartuffe, and Mistress of the Inn. But here I actually laugh with it, I can picture how it's still funny on stage. Like with the police men! One tough man comes up and is scared away by a girl threatening him, then another and an old lady scares him off, then another, and another. Then all 4 are scared off by and all women army!
Then the Magistrate and Lysistrata have their debate. And she actualy makes good points. She makes sense and all the Magistrate does is laugh it off like it means nothing!! But he finally leaves dressed as a dead woman. That's what you get.
Pg-100?
We had NWEA testing today, which I think I did fairly well on 253 math and 249 English. Hopefully that's good. We also had a meeting (finally!!) about the benefit concert. I'm slightly scared only because I'm not in charge, something I'm going to call stage manager syndrome. But Lea, Abbi, and Becca seem to have a good place to start. Plus today I continued reading and memorized a bit.
