Menaechmi is a broad farce that makes use of the comic possibilities of mistaken identity.Shakespeare adapted the plot for his Comedy of Errors, but his is not the only adaptation made since the Renaissance.Its neat plot … Plautus. Plautus (ca. 254-ca. 184 B.C.) was a Roman writer. His theatrical genius, vitality, farcical humor, and control of the Latin language rank him as Rome's greatest comic playwright. During the 3d century B.C., Roman writers began to imitate the forms and contents of Greek literature. In the modern world, Shakespeare’s comedies borrow the theme, pacing, and even plots of many of Plautus’ plays; the Comedy of Errors is a close reduplication of Plautus’ Menaechmi, except that it uses two sets of twins, whereas Plautus uses one.

Note bene: A habit of these poets in their comedies is to set the scene of all their events in Athens, to make you think it all the more truly Greek. T. MACCIVS PLAVTVS (born c. 254 B.C.) Amphitruo: Asinaria: Aulularia: Bacchides: Captivi: Casina: Cistellaria: Curculio: Epidicus Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and Plautus' Menaechmi and Amphitruo One of Shakespeare's earliest plays (its first recorded performance in December 1594), The Comedy of Errors has frequently been dismissed as pure farce, unrepresentative of the playwright's later efforts. In Plautus' Menaechmi, the wife is simply called Matrona, which is the Latin word for wife. As with most characters in Plautine comedy, the wife is a stock character, i.e., Menaechmi. Have flawed characters: Menaechmus has a mistress and is happy to cheat Messenio out of his money, even though this slave saved his life not much earlier; and Sosicles has no qualms about deceiving Erotium in order to get food, drink, sex, and a valuable mantle. Menaechmi, with a few plays like Captivi and Rudens, stands apart from Plautus's other work because it develops not from the tricks and efforts of a clever slave, parasite, wife, or whore, but because it is so utterly a comedy of fortune. xi INTRODUCTION. Little is known of the life of Titus Maccius Plautus. He was born about 255 B.C. At Sarsina, in Umbria; it is said that he went to Rome at an early age, worked at a theatre, saved some money, lost it in a mercantile venture, returned to Rome penniless, got employment in a mill and wrote, during his leisure hours, three plays. Menaechmi is one of Plautus' liveliest and most entertaining comedies, the main inspiration for Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Dr Gratwick's edition brings new light to bear on the interpretation of the play and on Plautus' place in the development of European comedy. Central to his treatment is the fact that Plautus was a dramatist who wrote to be heard rather than to be read.
