Document Summary
Doesn"t have a double plot (characteristic of terence) because he is able to generate enough confusion with the single plot. The women, slaves, and children save the fathers from themselves in the end. Its topsy turvy but not in a funny way. Women are schemers and go behind the fathers" backs. The play is a lot like the arbitration but . **** the rape is different, in the mother-in-law the young man is not nice the story of the rape is horrible. Most of the play is the young man complaining. - you"re not to notice that he is a smuck. In the end you"re have a play like menander but aiming for a much more confusing plot and deeper. No devine prologe vs. menander who always has one.
