Her biographers trace her escape from the bourgeois Parisian milieu into which she was born, in 1908, first to the Sorbonne and then to the École Normale Supérieure.

Aristophanes’ satire-scathing but born of a deep love for Athens-targets, among other things, warmongering politicians like the demagogue Cleon, who zealously supported the Peloponnesian War effort (see The Knights), intellectual charlatanism, and the blustery pomposity of the tragic spirit. The most famous of Aristophanes’ surviving plays include The Clouds (completed in 417 BC), The Birds (414 BC), Lysistrata (411 BC), and The Frogs (405 BC). His plays were staged during Athenian drama competitions like those held during the City Dionysia and Lenaia, where they garnered prizes and fame for their robust, high-spirited poetry and incisive satirical wit. Aristophanes produced his first play, The Banqueters, in 427 BC, and would go on to write some forty plays over the course of his career in comedy, some of which we have in their entirety, many of which we have only in fragments.

This element of the story is not what the documents tell us, instead existing to create an intense final act that places its main character in dire peril. She is only rescued because the whole town decides to rise up and disrupt the proceedings that would have ended in her demise. Benedetta is nearly burned to death for her actions and is only just barely saved before being completely consumed by the fire. The film creates a much more dramatic sequence of events in the lead-up to that eventual return.
