LOPEZ GREGORIS, Rosario. MASKS AND CHARACTERS IN PALLIATA COMEDY: THE MASKS OF THE ATELLANA AND THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE PALLIATA. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.16, pp.134-149. ISSN 2145-8987.

This paper discusses where one can identify the influence of the masks of the Atellan farce on palliata Latin comedy. I also discuss to what extent the specific characteristics of the atellana, together with the fixed character types of Greek new comedy (Néa), explain the singularity of the palliata and the success of Plautus in front of the difficult Roman public, which was used to a comicality linked to the senses.

Palabras clave : Atellan farce; Latin comedy; palliata; New Greek Comedy (Néa); mask; character.
