Damn Aeschylus really likes his dick jokes huh? The writing is fun and the characters are absolutely infuriating. I wanted to smack Strepsiades multiple times throughout the play, I really related to Socrates when he was trying to teach him. He was stubborn and dumb and ugh. I know Aeschylus was trying to ridicule the Socratic thinkers but honestly they sounded pretty fun. I liked the clouds as well, they're pretty.
