As you think back on the story for this module, consider the following questions:
- Selene continues to be an excellent source of assistance and support for Pseudolus. In Part 1 of the Sight Passage, she provides Pseudolus instructions on how to proceed, following the same advice given by Livia. Discuss your thoughts on the similarities and differences between Livia and Selene.
- Julia is very dismissive at first and is even a bit callous - clearly her marriage to Marcellus was not a happy one. Use what you read in the passage and what you know of Roman culture to discuss how this attitude could have come about for Julia. Consider specifically how she responded to Pseudolus’ visit and then, moving forward, to hearing that Marcellus was likely murdered.
- Our story so far has included a few major female characters: Selene, Anna, Livia, and now, Julia. Rome was a patriarchal society - the men were in charge of every bit of government and public life, and yet these women have played a major role in the development of the story. What does their role in the story say about the overall role of women in Roman society? Consider Julia in particular: she uses the verb liberari to describe herself. Was there such a thing as freedom for a Roman woman?
