Casina v. The Braggart Soldier
I preferred "Casina" over the "The Braggart Soldier" because I felt that the story in "Casina" was much easier to follow. While both stories had no such good themes of trapping women and exploiting them, I liked the plot of "Casina" better, and the witty banter kept the story moving and interesting. One thing that both plays had, but "Casina" did better, was the use of fourth-wall breaks. The breaks in "Casina" develop the characters and add funny details to the story, and the breaks in "The Braggart Soldier" are less developmental and the characters aren't thinking to themselves they are more just bragging to themselves. Overall I felt "Casina" was the better read and better-formatted play.
