This chapter consists of three parts. The first part is subject matter, in this part I would like to give brief explanation about the script drama. The second part I would discuss the approach in this study. Then the last part is procedures that explain all the steps on the analyzing of this script drama.

A. SUBJECT MATTER

In this thesis, I choose Lysistrata drama script. The original novel was written by Aristophanes at 410 BC. This drama script is an English translation, published in 1954 by Harcourt, Brace Co, NY as the first edition. The English version is translated by Dudley Fitts. The content of this story is about women in Greece. There are a war between Athena and Sparta. Women and children are very sad, they cannot gather with their family completely. Their husbands father leave them and go to the war. Lysistrata is an Athenian her husband is a commissioner. She thinks only women can save Greece, she has an idea to end the war. One day, Lysistrata invites some people to her house. The people are women who have high position in Greece. Lysistrata conveys her idea to end the war. Her idea is all of the women in Greece leave their house and live in a mass calls Akropolis. By knowing the condition, all of the men in Greece are very angry. They lose their wife, and feel lonely. No one at home, they do the household alone PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI without helping from their wife. They are very sad when they come from the war. Men protest to Lysistrata about this condition, they want their wife come back to home. Finally, men and women make an appointment. Women will go back to home if men end the war. Moreover, they create peace together in the family life. From this moment, it raises a Lysistrata as a hero for Greece, their country.

B. APPROACH

In analyzing the problem formulation as mentioned in chapter one, I use the feminism approach based on the feminism theory that I would employ. This is because I would like to analyze the women’s live and role in the family. I also employ the theory character and characterization of Abram’s theory, to know the character of Lysistrata.
