Peace

The ending of Lysistrata was extremely interesting to me although I was confused by some parts. I enjoyed the way Lysistrata used Peace the woman as a map for the men to divide land upon. I found it humorous and creative on Lysistrata's part. I don't understand, however, the men's ability to divide up the land as easily as they did with so much built up sexual tension/lust. Because of this I believe that Peace was simply used to keep the men amused while Lysistrata further convinced them to sign the treaty. After this however, the men became more serious because land was at stake...something possibly more important to them than their current sexual desires. Also, I found Talor's comment that Peace was turned into an object interesting.
