T. Macci Plauti Menaechmi

Excerpt from T. Macci Plauti Menaechmi: Edited, With Introduction and Notes The plot of the turns upon the extraordinary resemblance of twin brothers bearing the same name, who have been separated in infancy, and of whom one, prosecuting a search for his brother in manhood, accidentally arrives at the town where the other dwells. Such a situation naturally gives rise to an abundance of comic errors and laughable incidents and as their power to amuse largely depends upon their unexpectedness, it is not proposed to anticipate the reading of the play by giving here any detailed outline of it. The remarks which follow in this section are therefore intended to supple ment the study of the actual text.
