This research paper: 3 pages in length. The stock character has persevered throughout centuries of artistic production to remain as pertinent an element in contemporary renditions of classical tales as it was during Roman times. Such farce and parody served to comprise the fundamental aspects of Roman comedies that were actually tragedies in disguise with an undercurrent of social truth running through them. To use stock characters who depicted the village idiot, the ditsy blonde and the overbearing wife was to poke fun at the very foundation of Roman populace; that such characters continue to reflect many of the same stereotypes of today speaks to the common denominator running through Plautus's The Braggart Soldier and the 1966 film version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
