mōnstrum, -ī [2/n] the term does not just refer to a
“monster” as we imagine it now, but anything that conjured up wonder or, in the
case of Plautus, fear …
Is this stereotypical comedy, where men think they’re in
charge – but it’s actually the women who call the shots – any different from
situation comedies now, yet they’re 2000 years apart?
monstrum mulieris, tantilla tanta verba funditat, (Plautus)
│ A monstrosity of a woman! Diminutive as she is, she does spit out such mighty
words
