The Treatment Of Nature In The Plays Of Plautus And Terence examines the portrayal of nature within the works of these two foundational playwrights of Roman comedy. Lillian Effie Case's study delves into the subtle ways Plautus and Terence incorporate natural elements, landscapes, and natural phenomena into their dramatic works. Far from mere background, Case argues that nature plays a vital, often symbolic, role in shaping the meaning and impact of these classic plays. This analysis sheds light on the cultural values and perceptions of the natural world held by Roman society, as reflected through its dramatic literature. Exploring themes of pastoral settings, the influence of the environment on characters, and the use of natural imagery, this work provides valuable insights into the enduring appeal and artistic merit of Plautus and Terence's comedies.
