In terms of spectacle, I think that it is interesting that most of the play takes place in the Akropolis, which can be seen as a symbol of power for the women. Since the women hold the Akropolis, it indicates that they also hold a position of power over the men. Therefore, I think that the set helps indictate the theme of the power of women, not only because they are able to make their men miserable without them, but because they are able to take control of the Akropolis. Perhaps that's why the men were so upset when they found out that the women were in power of the Akropolis, since they realized what this meant. They might have also seen it as a sign of the women taking control, which was not what they wanted.

i never thought about that. good point. so, basically, the men don't like being overpowered but the women proved that they could easily overpower them which upset the men. That's funny.
