.... like men lighting matches in a wind” (726, 1028-9). Lysistrata uses her knowledge to gain power over them by summoning all of the women together and calling for “a sex-strike against war” (701). This “sex-strike” puts the men in “a pretty high-strung condition” (727, 1102) and also puts them at the mercy of the women.

A Doll House: The Disadvantage Of Determinism

Two characters in the play, Dr. Rank and Nora, demonstrate the lack of freedom one has as a result of hereditary determinism. Dr. Rank, for example, suffers from a physical disease passed on to him from his father. He states, "I'd just as soon lau .....

Since they lack any formal office or shop, and they predict forthcomings without fee, one can see quite easily why citizens would distrust their predictions.
