Plautus's Plays

Of the two plays we read (Casina and The Braggart Soldier) I enjoyed The Braggart Soldier the most.  The rhyme scheme and the wit made it highly enjoyable to read and the numerous hoaxes were hilarious and they constantly kept the audience on their toes.  I found the humor much funnier, as the humor in Casina tended to be much less sophisticated and a lot crasser and base.  I also appreciated the role of women, they were less property and more obviously involved in the story.
