Plautus Two Plays

I preferred Casina as I enjoyed its crude humor over that of The Braggart Soldier. The scene where Olympio tries to make love with "Casina" who is really Chalinus dressed up in disguise was great. I did not expect this from a play originally written in the Roman times, and was in disbelief of what I was reading. I did enjoy, however, the asides in both plays as Plautus used this method to create some very humorous instances. I also enjoyed the plotting and scheming in both plays, as it seemed over the top to go to certain means than just confronting the problem directly, but this added to the humor as well. The use of the neighbors house in both plays was also very funny as one would have to be very close to that person to get permission to do certain things inside their house and with their house, thus adding to the humor.
