Casina and The Braggart Soldier

Between the two plays that we read, I enjoyed Casina more because of the storyline. I really like the competition almost between Lysidamus and his son Euthynicus at first, and then the transition to competition between Lysidamus and Cleostra. It was interesting to see a storyline develop like this once, especially after the movies we have watched recently which portrayed women as the devils in the relationship. In Casina, I feel for Cleostra because she is the actual victim in the story and her husband is the bad guy. The Braggart Soldier was okay, it was not as enticing to me as Casina because the storyline was one that I feel has been adapted in movies today. Casina was new and had a lot of great twists and turns that kept me involved in the play.
