Extractions: The Roman theatre at Ephesus, setting for Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Photograph Peter Smith. Many characters from classical comedy are memorable: the miles gloriosus, or braggart soldier, on whom (in part) the character of Falstaff is based; the senex* ("old man"), an elderly parent who uses his authority or the law to thwart the young lovers; Egeus has this role in A Midsummer Night's Dream One of Shakespeare's earliest comedies is based closely upon two Latin originals. The Comedy of Errors takes the plots of two plays by Plautus: the Menaechmi, a play about long separated twins who are mistaken for each other and are eventually reunited; and the Amphitruo, where masters and servants become confused. Shakespeare combined the two plots, and added twin servants to the twin masters to complicate things further. Click to see the original Roman Theatre at Ephesus , where The Comedy of Errors is set.

Extractions: Titus Maccius Plautus (c.254-184BC) Born in Umbria, Plautus moved to Rome where he became an actor, probably playing Maccus in the fabula Atellanae, hence his middle name Maccus is a simple, gluttonous fool ala John Belushi in Animal House. According to one probably apochryphal legend, Plautus was so successful financially as an actor that he decided to go into business at which he failed, losing all his money. He then supposedly took a job at a mill and used his spare time to write plays. In any case, his background as an actor undoubtedly accounts for the "playability" of his material. They generally "work." Plautus' plays were apparently written to amuseto actually make people laugh rather than to grind some political or pholosophical axe. They reflect his practical background in Italian popular comedy as well as the influence of Greek New Comedy. (See Menander) In fact all of Plautus' characters pretend to be Greek ( fabulae palliatae ). The plays are usually set in or near Athens. Plautus enjoys spoofing the "Greekish" tone of of the plays. For example, in

Extractions: Plautus for Kids - the ancient Roman playwright Plautus During the Roman Republic , when the Romans first began to go to plays, there weren't any plays written in Latin , only plays in Greek . Plautus (PLAW-tuss or PLOW-tuss) was one of the first people who wrote plays in Latin for these Roman audiences, in the late 200's BC (about the time of the Second Punic War ). All of the plays he wrote were comedies (funny plays). He lived in Rome. Mostly, Plautus took Greek plays by men like Menander and translated them into Latin. He didn't translate them exactly, word for word, but he took the stories of these Greek plays and wrote them so that they would be funny to Romans. Although Plautus wrote many plays, we don't have all of them written down. Many of them were lost and we don't have copies of them anymore. The twenty-one plays he wrote that have lasted are those that were chosen for kids to study in school (so the kids needed many copies of them). The most famous play Plautus wrote is Amphitryo , about the birth of Hercules Another Roman playwright was Terence , who lived a little later and also wrote comedies.

http://www.columbia.edu/itc/classics/zetzel/Plautus.htm

Extractions: Latin 4105: Plautus, Amphitruo Unless you have read Roman comedy before, Plautus is likely to be the most difficult text to read this semester, if only because the language is archaic and the vocabulary unfamiliar. The meter is also not easy. On all these topics, Christenson's commentary is very good, and you should use it as needed. And although I will not ask you to sing Sosia's great canticum , you should attempt to understand the meter of this and of the regular spoken meter, the iambic senarius. Amphitruo is, as Plautus himself makes clear in the prologue, not a typical comedy; indeed, Mercury calls it tragicomoedia . Why? what does he mean? What is the effect of a comedy of mistaken identity (a common plot; compare Menaechmi ) in which one of the pairs is god/king and the other is god/slave? Roman comedy is generally (and rightly) said to be based on Greek New Comedy, and one of the major strands of Plautine criticism until recently has been to try to detect what is "Plautine" or "Roman" in Plautus (see Fraenkel and Handley, below). How can you tell what is "Greek" and what is "Roman"and does it matter? Putting it another way, how does Plautus make his plays at home in Rome? to what extent is he commenting on his own society (see Gruen and Konstan below)? Are allusions to Roman social situations (e.g. the torture of slaves) meant to be social criticism, or simply funny? Is Sosia's great speech on the battle meant to evoke Roman experience? If so, to what effect?

BC The biographical tradition reports that Plautus was born Macc(i)us, an Umbrian from Sarsina (in northern Italy) and acquired the cognomen Plotus/Plautus for his flat feet. On coming to Rome, he worked as a stagehand, and possibly as an actor. He left Rome on a business venture and when that failed, worked for a miller after returning. All these details are suspect. His play are trationally edited in alphabetical order, as follows: [The web pages attached to each play and the books below are the work of students in LATN 4004 Roman Comedy Fall 2004.

Extractions: Plautus was born in the early half of the third century BC, in Umbria. He went to Rome at an early age. He began writing plays almost immediately. He combined singing, dance, farce, and the plot styles of Greek New Comedy to make his plots. He relied on stock characters and used the well know plot of boy meets girl . . .something goes wrong . . . outlandish deeds . . .boy gets girl. He especially like to use parasites and a crafty/clever slave to keep his audience entertained. He is often esteemed as Rome's greatest dramatist , for he appealed to the masses in a time when they cared only for entertainment and were indifferent to political issues. His dramatic and musical melodies as well as slapstick behavior was very popular. He died at an advanced age in 184 BC . His type of comedy fell out of favor during the end of the republic and the first century of the Empire. However the archaic revival of the second century of the Empire brought him back into favor causing the preservation of his works through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Thus twenty of his plays are still intact today , and he has influenced many of the great comedic playwrights that have come after him. Not only are many of his stock characters used in the plays of the Commedia del'Arte but also many of

http://www.didaskalia.net/issues/vol2no3/cahoon.html

Extractions: E-mail: Leslie.Cahoon@jupiter.cc.gettysburg.edu An earlier version of this paper was presented as part of the 'Comedy Today' panel at the 1995 APA annual meeting in San Diego. Plautus's plays notoriously feature inversions of the social order, reversals of traditional patterns of dominance. James Tatum's splendid translations of Truculentus and Bacchides encouraged my students to bring Plautine abuses home to Americaour Truculentus is loosely cast as a western drama in a fictive Athens, Wyoming with Native American slaves and Bacchides is vaguely situated in the 1920's. In both plays, characters who purport to represent traditional Roman moral values fathers, tutors, soldiersturn out to be just as morally compromised and self-seeking as those who represent subversive Greek decadence and irresponsibilitylovers, courtesans, and slaves. Again, in both plays, courtesans and slaves triumph over the ruling classes and reveal their depravities, as well as the unjust and abusive nature of the Roman social order. Somewhat similarly, the social order at Gettysburg College is confounded by the necessity for the dominant 'Greeks' (fraternity and sorority members) to work with various 'geek' sub-groups in order to put together successful final performances in my ancient drama courses.
