The end of the play
I really didnt like how this play ended. I mean it is a nice ending that the men finally gave into the women and "peace" was restored but it just seemed to fairy-tale to me. I liked that the play didn't end with a death or violence or with the war continuing... but it just ended with such an expected ending which takes away surprise and interest. I like being thrown off at the end of a book or play, and I guess this sort of threw me off in that I thought there would be a more eye opening and unexpected ending, and the expected happened. I'm not sure what Aristophanes could have done to make the ending less expected and more out of the ordinary, but I wish there was something more eyecatching than what actually happened.

Well I think we've been reading so many depressing tragedies that that's all we expect. It's funny because this one finally turned it all around but I also felt like there needed to be more. Except I did enjoy the "Peace" part with its double-meaning. :)
