This motif within the play
is very interesting.
we first encounter it
in the beginning of the play
when the ladies take the oath of
Abstinence.
i believe that
the motif of water is something that
usually is seen as pure
but somehow in this
sense,
it's something that is bad,
because during the play, the women say that
the wine is what they want and the water is what they don't want
but that doesn't make any sense
to me because usually...
idk.
from the way i see it, ppl who drink wine and alcoholic beverages
usually get drunk and then do crazy thing so then why would the grls
want to drink wine and not the water
because don't they want to stay pure? and
isn't water something pure?
so i found that really ironic
the motif of water later is then shown in the book
when the men are carrying their torches and
the women have the water.
so then i guess,
it represents purity again? or.......
i'm not sure because water in this play
is seen as something bad and then something good because it
takes the men
it brings them down a knotch.
but idk,
just a thought.

Yeah I got confused with the water reference too because when we were dissecting it I was thinking the water was the purity but anyway I guess I could see how the wine is because its so rich I guess? and putting water in that sense would dilute the richness making it like cheap and not as special? :)
idk! it's so confusing!
but i think the wine at that pt, now that i think about it,
represented the women and how we have our FRIEND every month. LOL. and then the water would be the boys' friend LOL.
and how the cup is us, and well you get what i mean by now right? Lol.
