More on the Frogs

Things that jumped out at me:
  • chorus constantly comments

  • parabasis-- "Its only a play"

  • FULL of innuendo

  • cast mastered the score-- fantastic job

Thought: Get off your ass and DO SOMETHING.

Plot: Dionyses and Xanthius travle to the Underworld to bring back George Bernard Shaw

Action: The Frogs-- recurring

Diction/Sound/Spectacle: think of the way they set it up to make you feel like you were a part of the Greek mythology

It was all metaphorical--
Frogs represent the ever-present fears of mankind-- haunting Dionyses in a way. Frogs also sit on their lily pads all day and wait for their flies to come to them. They represent the laziness of mankind.
