    (1:43-51) The call and confession of Nathanael is part of a larger pericope namely Nathanael’s Confession (1:35-51) which John uses to show how the disciples come to know Jesus as the King of Israel.

    believed that tragedy served a higher purpose than comedy because of its cathartic effect. Therefore‚ comedy is delegitimized. But comedy does serve a social purpose that can be considered cathartic. It can be an outlet for social angst. At the time Lysistrata was written‚ Athens‚ a superpower of their time‚ had just lost a battle with Sparta. This probably shattered the conceptions of Athenians. And as a result‚ Aristophanes used a ribald comedy about the less-than-citizen women of Sparta and Athens
