Abstract

The purpose of this work is to characterize and interpret the development of the character of the young girl in love in the Latin comedy. In consequence, the research focuses on the genre’s two most prominent periods: the ancient Roman comedy by Plautus and Terence, and the so-called Latin humanistic comedy from the early European Renaissance. More specifically, this work concentrates on the cases of Symmachus and Emporia, two comedies by Tito Livio Frulovisi which have not been translated to any modern language.
