CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLAUTINE COMIC IN PSEUDOLUS

Summary/Abstract: Titus Maccius Plautus did not write an original work. The author from Sarsina himself acknowledged the Greek model of his plays. The ancients did not have a cult for originality, the way modernists do and Plautus makes no exception. All that the playwright aims to, regardless of the form, is laughter: “It is a comedy full of charm and humor: / You will roll in the aisles” . Through the analysis of “Pseudolus”, we have tried to outline several characteristics of ludus comicus, of the artistic modality to accomplish it, by the means of which the author from Sarsina managed to assert his uniqueness.
