Covers ( Ibsen and Lysistrata)
As I previously mentioned, the covers of Lysistrata and Ibsen have similar characteristics. Both share the colors of Orange and Yellow and women by some body of water, whether it be a pond or ocean. Yet, they are similar in a very in another way; they both contain the theme of women having power and using it to control others. Specifically with Hedda Gabler, she used her power to control George and manipulating him into to using his aspired wealth to get her whatever she desires. Likewise, in Lysistrata, she uses her power to control the men and stop them from fighting in the war. So, the covers of both stories could represent the women and their control, being that the women are the majority on the covers, and they use their power to receive what they want out of the men, and women.
