Both plays portray women as strong-minded characters faced with great suffering. The difference between the two is in their outcome. Medea, a tragedy, opposes society's maltreatment of women with the use of counter suffering, involving death and destruction. Lysistrata, a comedy, has characters who use intelligence to overcome social evil. Lysistrata ends positively, whereas Medea does not.
