Write a 3- to 4-page essay comparing three moments from Clouds to another work in order to take a position on the culture, beliefs, and social expectations of classical Athens, responding to one of the following three prompts.
Prompt: The surviving plays of Aristophanes range over a long and turbulent period of Athenian history. Do Aristphaness opinions and technique change over time?

First, choose another play by Aristophanes. (Popular options include Frogs, mounted in 405 BCE, 11 years after the revised version of Clouds; Birds, mounted in 414; and Wealth, mounted in 388; but any of the 11 surviving plays is fair game.

Describe and discuss three moments from Clouds that reflect either Aristophaness opinions or how he makes the play reflect them. Compare each of these moments with a similar (or contrasting) moment in the other comedy.

Make an argument for the consistency of Aristophaness approach to writing, and the evolution of his overall philosophy across this most troubled period. What themes and ideas are present in both plays? Is his approach, methodology, or agenda consistent? If not, how does it change?

Please only use evidence from Aristophanes, "the Clouds" and "Frogs"
