- Title
La (re)presentación del conflicto suegra-nuera en Hecyra: una innovación terenciana.
- Authors
SUÁREZ, Marcela A.
- Abstract
Relationship between the sexes is focused in many comedies, but Hecyra presents family life, particularly a mother-in-law, whose character is marked off by prejudice and unfavorable opinion. What we intend here is to emphasize (re) presentation of the conflict mother-in-law vs. daughter-in-law in terms of odium-ira, our aim is trying to define true Terentian innovation. Sostrata, focus of the conflict, is structured like a socrus benevola because she is a bona matrona. Terence follows his own dramatic convention while innovating in front of a double challenge: real life and traditional codification.
