Casina and The Braggart Soldier
Out of the two plays, I enjoyed The Braggart Soldier the most. My favorite character was Palaestrio. His monologue in the beginning of the play helped me establish the story line, and it was also fun to read. Casina had an opening monologue as well, but Palaestrio was the first character I connected with so from the start I enjoyed The Braggart Solider more. I also loved the language used in this play. One phrase that made me laugh was "mincemeat of the foe." The bit that made me laugh the most was when Palaestrio is talking to Pyrogopolynices and he says, "She alone could be compared to you in beauty," to which Pyrogopolynices replies, "Oh how gorgeous! Who is she?"
