What was the originality of Aristophane's work?

  • He had invented a new painting technique

  • He was using a unique comic drawing style

  • He was representing demons and frailty

  • He was using a particular language

Answer

Aristophanes' originality was that he represented demons and frailty in his work. He used demons as a way to show the negative aspects of human nature, while frailty was used to show the vulnerability of people. This was different from other playwrights of the time, who often used gods or heroes as the main characters in their plays.
