Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The topic of misogyny in Terence’s work attests the existing fractures and conflicts in the society of his time. Although the playwright does not use this device insistently, it is sometimes used as a tirade of theatre within theatre. This theme is frequently associated with low status or emotionally disturbed characters, as the exclusus amator (rejected lover) or the senex iratus (angry old man) illustrate – a circumstance that does not really undervalue the feminine. Moreover, in the war of sexes, through the plot clarification, the character’s rehabilitation and general facts show that the woman wins even being a prostitute, since many misogynists submit to the female reason. Therefore, Terence’s comedy suggests that the coeval society tended to change values, so that not only could a higher level of harmony between sexes be attained, but also a regression of misogyny.
