Abstract

The actual and interesting point of intersection of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata (411 B.C.) and D. H. Lawrence’s ‘‘Tickets, Please!’’ (1919), is that, although written in distinctively different centuries, Lysistrata evokes D. H. Lawrence’s ‘‘Tickets, Please!’’ in terms of thematic structure. In both stories, writers present the changing status of women in wartimes, the impacts of war on the private dynamic shifts between genders and the connection of women to violence and plotting to gain power in society. This study aims at investigating the similarities between two literary works, written in distinctively different centuries, within thematic analysis to conclude that despite the passing periods, the perception of men towards women has not improved dramatically.

Keywords

dynamic shifts, gender, Lysistrata, ‘‘Tickets, Please!’’, thematic analysis.
