questions of war and peace, or with persons or practices disliked by the author.
Greek old comedy has a chorus of twenty-four members, whereas Roman comedy has no
chorus
Greek old comedy involves male characters wearing a phallus.
Roman comedy does not deal with political or social issues but rather with everyday
domestic affairs.
Almost invariably, Roman comedy plots turn on misunderstandings of one sort or another.
Roman comedies show the well-to-do middle class
In Roman comedies about two-thirds of the lines are accompanied by the flute and the
many songs evoke comparisons to twentieth- and twenty-first-century musical theatre.
