Casina or The Braggart Soldier
I had some trouble reading and following along The Braggart Soldier, it was really easy to get the characters confused for me. So I enjoyed reading Casina a lot more. I really liked how Cleostrata was able to figure out Lysidumus's plan all along and she was able to sabotage it and get revenge on Lysidumus. I think it was cool how Chalinus accepted to dress as Casina, maybe he did it to get back to Lysidumus for not letting him marry Casina. Other wise I can't really see why he would accept, I assume that back then dressing as a woman may not have been seen as a thing a man would do, but still it was really funny. Something that confused me at the end was the fact that Cleostrata was not mad at her husband for his plan. Was she not mad because her plan worked? or maybe even she didn't even really love him so at the end of the day she didn't care? I think both plays could be good movie adaptations but I would rather see Casina in a film I think it would be a great comedy .
