Pot of Gold by Plautus easy Explaination in English.
Aulularia is a Latin play by the early Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus. The title literally means The Little Pot, but some translators provide The Pot of Gold, and the plot revolves around a literal pot of gold which the miserly protagonist, Euclio, guards zealously. The play’s ending does not survive, though there are indications of how the plot is resolved in later summaries and a few fragments of dialogue.
Plot summery-Lar Familiaris, the household deity of Euclio, an old man with a marriageable daughter named Phaedria, begins the play with a prologue about how he allowed Euclio to discover a pot of gold buried in his house. Euclio is then shown almost maniacally guarding his gold from real and imagined threats. Unknown to Euclio, Phaedria is pregnant by a young man named Lyconides. Phaedria is never seen on stage, though at a key point in the play the audience hears her painful cries in labor.
Euclio is persuaded to marry his daughter to his rich neighbor, an elderly bachelor named Megadorus, who happens to be the uncle of Lyconides. This leads to much by-play involving preparations for the nuptials. Eventually Lyconides and his slave appear, and Lyconides confesses to Euclio his ravishing of Phaedria. Lyconides’ slave manages to steal the now notorious pot of gold. Lyconides confronts his slave about the theft.
At this point the manuscript breaks off. From surviving summaries of the play, we know that Euclio eventually recovers his pot of gold and gives it to Lyconides and Phaedria, who marry in a happy ending. In the Penguin Classics edition of the play, translator E.F. Watling devised an ending as it might have been originally, based on the summaries and a few surviving scraps of dialogue.Other writers over the centuries have also written endings for the play, with somewhat varying results (one version was produced by Antonio Urceo in the late 15th century, another by
Martinus Dorpius in the early 16th century).
In this video the critical analysis of the famous comedy play has been discussed so that the learnes can make out it easily.

[@sharikashabnam2485]

Can u plz tell me an answer ? Q - whom did lyconides send to the nurse to ask about phaedria's health ? Is it the slave or is it Euclio

[@englishwithpooja7982]

Phaedria suffers labour pain in the backstage and the details are not clearly provided. The nurse was already present with phaedria when she goes in labour and Lycodines along with his mother realised about Phaedria's pain. I hope you liked my answer........Thankyou so much for visiting my channel and plz do like,share and subscribe.

[@monirulsk6413]

Lyconides didn't send anyone to the nurse asking about Phaedria's health. He tells Euclio to go to his house to see Phaedria if her Child is born or not because Lyconides tells him that he seduced her 10 moons ago(10 months) and now her child is born but Euclio does not know anything about it . So Lyconides asks him to go his to see that if he tells him true or not.

Thank you so much. Can you explain the importance of Lar Familiaris and what would happened if they wouldnt be in the story

[@englishwithpooja7982]

Lar familiaris was just the god father and helped in handling their heir loom(pot of gold) to Euclio. He is not a major character in the story but only tells about the pot of gold. Thank you for watching

Plz give in assamese

[@palvinanwal1054]

Can you plze tell me the answer At the beginning of Plautus's Pot of Gold Euclio's orders Staphyla to deny anyone fire and water from his house. Comment on the significance of this decision in the play

[@englishwithpooja7982]

This answer is really broad one but i will tell you briefly.As you know that Euclio was a miser person and never shared his own things with anyone else.I have already mentioned what he used to do in miserliness.So just because of his possessiveness towards his things he never allowed anyone to take his materials neither a single part of anything which belonged to him.
