The Menaechmi: Using the new to learn from the old, the comedy that existsOver time and generations, comedy has seduced its spectators in different ways. As you can tell, each generation has a different appeal, and over time the interest changes. As the style of comedy changes, so do the topics they pursue or address. As ancient comedy developed and matured, it began to change form according to its writers and poets through language. His usual focus on topics also became different, and with the cumulative changes occurring over times, comedy developed. Additionally, in Plautus' Meneechmi written as a new comedy, and by focusing on different issues in Roman society, very different from the old comedy, he offers many insights into comedy that are very successful in getting the point across . know that although much of its orientation is no longer practiced today, ancient comedy is the origin of comedy. Old comedy has taken on the most scandalous projects and presents plausible solutions to contemporary problems. It also focused primarily on slapstick action, scatological and sexual jokes, and tragedy. Furthermore, its most common purpose would be political and social parody as well as literary distortion. In The Menaechmi, in addition to their inner relationship drama, the characters managed to convey the interaction and norms of Roman society. In this book, it is interesting to note that Plautus writes characters with Greek names and a green landscape. Nevertheless, the manners and taste were noticeably Roman, which also gave him a taste of old comedy. In this book we can see that in Roman times, men had free will. Even if they were married, they would have their mistress by their side and their servants would also be their "watchdog" if the real wife suspected anything. At the beginning of the story, the twin brother is revealed to be his jealous wife's depression. He leaves his house criticizing his wife. Leaving the house, he takes the woman's coat and with his servant, he gives the coat to Erotium who is a prostitute. He then tells him that he can have the fireplace repaired and demands this dinner for him and his servant. Besides, without disagreement, Erotium agrees. This scenario shows that in Roman society, women did not have much say in their lives and were always at the beck and call of men and served whatever pleased the men, whether it made the woman happy or No..
