Casina vs The Braggart Soldier

I preferred "Casina" over "The Braggart Soldier" because I was more entertained whilst reading "Casina." The funniest part of either plays is the scene in which Olympio goes into the dark room to have sex with Casina and confirm the marriage yet to his surprise there is a man that beats him up as he feels him up. Cleostrata, the wife of  Lysidamus, is the master behind all the mockery which seems very taboo for such an early time period. The most important factor in determining my like or dislike of these comedies was I actually found "Casina" funny
