475 Words2 Pages

Pseudolus and Miles Gloriosus create a great Roman Comedy mash up that is A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which leads us on a crazy rollercoaster. The movie, A funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum takes different ideas from the two stories to create an epic mash up. Here are some examples, in all of the stories there is a master and the person he love has either been kidnapped, sold as a slave or about to be sold as a slave. Each story has the masters slave trying to solve the problem hoping for a reward. In both the movie and Pseudolus, the slave is Pseudolus, but in Miles Gloriosus the slave is Palaestrio.

Then out of nowhere everything falls into place and all the bad stuff that were about to happen to the characters becomes good. For example in the movie, A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum Hero, the son of Senex was in love with the slave girl and he tried his hardest to get her, but with the help of his slave, Pseudolus. At the end the captain who had bought her was getting ready to leave with her, when Erronius saw the ring he had given his lost kids on the captain’s finger. This is when he found out the captain was his son and after that the slave girl too said she had the same ring making her the daughter of Erronius, also making her free. Now that she was free Hero could marry her and Pseudolus was now free since he had helped Hero get his love. As I said earlier, in all three stories it makes the viewer/ reader feel as if everything is about to go wrong and the situation they are in is so complex it cannot be solved, but at the end everything does fall into place and nothing awful
