INTRODUCTION
The problem of the motivation of exits in Greek and Latin comedy

may be subdivided as follows : ( 1 ) whether or not deliberate and ade
quate motivation occurs in Greek and Latin Comedy ; ( 2 ) whether the
motivation of exits found in New Comedy is derived from that in Old
Comedy or dependent upon an outside influence , such as Euripidean
tragedy . With regard to this two -fold problem , I propose to prove in
this thesis : ( 1 ) that the motivation of exits is never disregarded in
Greek and Latin comedy , ( 2 ) that the motivation of exits in Greek and
Latin comedy is adequate , i. e offers a plausible reason for withdrawal of
characters in harmony with the development of the plot , the role of the
actor , and the customary occurrences of everyday life ; ( 3 ) that the moti
vation of exits in New Comedy is derived from that of Old Comedy and
does not require the influence of tragedy , inasmuch as no motivation of an
exit in New Comedy is without a parallel in Old Comedy ; ( 4 ) that , since
adequate motivation is to be expected , absence may

motivation occurs in Greek and Latin Comedy . Therefore , this question
is taken up first in Chapter I.

THE MOTIVATION OF EXITS IN GREEK
AND LATIN COMEDY
CHAPTER I
THE ADEQUATE MOTIVATION OF EXITS
1. REVIEW OF PREVIOUS WORK IN THE FIELD OF MOTIVATION
The existence of the problem of the presence or absence of deliberate

and adequate motivation in Greek and Latin comedy was recognized by
Prescott in his articles on the development and background of classical
comedy .' He called attention to the lack of knowledge regarding motiva
tion in comedy and criticized the use of motivation as a criterion in liter
ary and textual criticism until such knowledge was available . He writes : 2
“ Myown main contention is that it is idle to deal with the matter of moti
vation until this aspect of dramatic technique in
its
entirety has been

properly studied not only comedy but tragedy Harms had

10 THE MOTIVATION OF EXITS
such as characterizing a rôle or providing humor . Exits with such special

functions and those of special technical form are discussed in the follow
ing section .
3. SPECIAL TYPES OF ADEQUATELY MOTIVATED Exits
a. The Characterizing Exit

As stated above , some exits are adequately motivated largely because
their motives are natural and obvious . Of these exits some derive this nat
uralness and obviousness from having the motivation arise from the char
acter of the rôle . Such exits conversely serve to emphasize the character
of the rôle in more or less degree . Those exits whose connection with the
plot is slight and whose chief use is to portray character may be defined
as " characterizing exits " . Conrad ' says that this technique of the charac
terizing exit is peculiar to Menander and is found only in the plays de
rived from him , such as the Heautontimorumenos , Aulularia , and Bacchid
es . This view ,
however , is untenable , as examination shows characteriz
ing exits in Old Comedy as well as in New Comedy other than that de
rived from Menander . All such exits occurring in Greek and Latin com
edy follow :
'Axapvñs , 1. 622 : The nature of Lamachus is exhibited by his depart
ure to war against the Peloponnesians after he is worsted in argument by
Dicaeopolis .

draws to fetch another . In this way the audience expects the appearance
of the character that is summoned . The following examples of this type
of exit occur :

CHAPTER II
THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OLD AND NEW
COMEDY RATHER THAN BETWEEN
TRAGEDY AND NEW COMEDY
1. REVIEW OF PREVIOUS WORK IN THE FIELD
Previous work in the field of motivation has neglected Old Comedy

and connected New Comedy rather with Euripidean tragedy . Harms
supports this view , finding that the motivation of entrances in New
Comedy is often based on mental considerations as is the case in tragedy
and not in Old Comedy . However , Prescott ? takes exception to this con
clusion , pointing out that New Comedy and tragedy are more emotional
than Old Comedy and from this fact their resemblance arises , but that
common emotionalism does not mean interdependence in technique , and
verbal agreements are sure to occur when the materials of ordinary

speech are used under the same conditions . He again asserts : 3 “ The
broader aspects of motivation in tragedy and comedy must be considered
before one may estimate the significance of apparent resemblances be
tween Euripides and the New Comedy . "
Furthermore , Prescott endeavors to discount the amount of influence
which tragedy is thought to have exerted upon New Comedy in general,
finding in Epicharmus and Crates evidences of traits likewise found in
New Comedy and previously attributed to the direct influence of tragedy
upon New Comedy . He suggests that a study of Old Comedy would
show a closer connection with New Comedy than is generally assumed .
Similarly , in dealing with the theory of Euripidean influence on the
monologue of Roman comedy as a sign of act - division , a theory presented
by Leo , Conradmakes the assertion :? " The connection between Euripi
des and the New Comedy is here especially weak , in that the relatively
few Euripidean monologues anticipate in content few of the many types
of monologue in Roman comedy .” Conrad further calls attention to

at the end of the fifth century , there was a period of mere transition for
that social comedy which had formed a minor element therein . "
To return to motivation , inasmuch as New Comedy has been shown
to be closely connected with Old Comedy rather than with tragedy in
other respects , one would expect to find a similar connection in this phase
of technique, contrary to the view expressed by Harms cited above .
Flickinger , in speaking of the development of motivation in the classical
drama as a whole , points out that the most difficult and most forced
motivation of entrances and exits was that of early tragedy , due to the
paucity of means of ingress and egress and to the two- actor and later
three - actor rule to take the role of another character . Rees ? discounts the
idea of a two - or three -actor rule , declaring it to be “ a misconception based
on the unwarranted application of an aesthetic principle that gradually
took form and was later formulated by Aristotle . This challenge of the
old accepted rule4 was answered by Kaffenberger , who reasserts the
restriction to three actors . Flickinger , while conceding the difficulties
presented by Rees , believes that even so there was clearly some restriction
in the number of actors in Greek tragedy , though possibly the limit was
four instead of three actors . It is his opinion that “ extra performers , if
they were in fact engaged , were not on a par with the other three nor em
ployed freely throughout the play , but merely recited or sang a very few
lines at those crises in the dramatic economy which were occasioned by
the limitation in the number of regular actors . ” Flickinger asserts the
occurrence of forced motivation of exits in Greek tragedy due to this
limitation of actors . An illustration of such forced motivation is cited
by him from the ' Avdpopáxy of Euripides , 1. 732 ff. , where Menelaus , who
was about to murder Andromache and her son to avenge his daughter
Hermione , at the arrival of Peleus suddenly deserts his daughter, ostensibly
to capture a hostile town , a very unconvincing pretext, but in reality to
play the part of Orestes , who enters after a short interval at l. 881 .
Therefore , while it is evident that the strict rule of two or three actors
must necessarily have been relaxed on occasion , the usual limitation of
actors was sufficient to cause occasional forced motivation of exits in
tragedy .
In coinedy , however , the usual limitation to three actors was relaxed ,
with four actors as a recognized usage . In this respect , then , tragedy did

between their homes and the pavement , ” which procedure , he says , forms
the canonical method of removing actors in comedy . The motives that
bring the actors to the " pavement ” are outside the limits of this study ,
but , obviously , to retire to one 's own home when there is nothing to keep
one elsewhere is the most natural action , and naturalness is the essence
of good motivation .
Since , therefore , motivation is simpler and more natural in comedy
than in tragedy , it is logical to trace the motivation in New Comedy back
to that in Old Comedy rather than to that in tragedy . It even seems
probable that the more natural motivation of Old Comedy influenced for
the better the forced motivation of tragedy , even as Leo states that
Euripides adopted the Aristophanic method of addressing the audience
for his prologues .
Before considering the evidence of the exits themselves with regard
to the relationship between Old and New Comedy in motivation , it is
necessary to determine the relationship between Latin and Greek New
Comedy . This phase of the question is taken up in the next section .

the beginnings of middle Comedy ; 1 but, so far as the motivation of exits

is concerned , there are no innovations that differentiate it from the other
Old Comedy plays of Aristophanes . The Amphitruo of Plautus is held to
be from original Greek middle Comedy by Bergk . ” However , Vahlin3
an
argues is from a Greek New Comedy , and this is the opinion now
that it
generally accepted . The play offers nothing new in the motivation of
exits . Since the evidence furnished by Middle Comedy is so slight , one 's
attention must be concentrated on Old and New Comedy .
Examination of the table in chapter I section ( 2 ) and of the exits
in the detailed classification in the appendix , will show that no type of
motive occurs in New Comedy that is not represented in Old Comedy .
Moreover the table shows that the various types of motives are used in
approximately the same proportion in Old and New Comedy . Similarly ,
examples of the various special types of exits , such as the characterizing
exit and the delayed exit , are found in both Old and New Comedy . The
only appreciable difference in the use of such exits is the decreased number
of humorous exits occurring in New Comedy as compared with the large
number in Old Comedy . This decrease in obvious humor , however , is
due to the natural development of comedy from the primitive slap - stick
variety to the more subtle, intellectual sort and does not affect the general
technique of motivation . The technique of motivation , therefore , is the
same in both Old and New Comedy , and shows no trace of an outside
influence , such as that of Euripidean tragedy .
The close parallelism of New and Old Comedy is made more clear
by a tabulated comparison of typical exits of all classes . Since the
technique of Menander , Plautus and Terence has been shown to be the
same , a citation from one of these authors serves as a representative
example of the technique of New Comedy :

This strange business with two gentlemen
exit on otherwise unheard
of in the play and the quick return are explained by Norwood as excuses ,
first , for the removal of Chremes from the stage so as to permit the
soliloquy of Menedemus , and second , to provide the presence of Chremes
outside Syrus could come upon him , thus permitting their con
where
versation overheard ; otherwise if Chremes retired indoors to look
to be
for Syrus and thus left Menedemus to his soliloquy , it would be necessary
to invent some motive for bringing Chremes and Syrus out of doors again
to converse . However , it is evident that Syrus could have come out
while the two men were talking , as he eventually does come out in l .
511 , with the resultant dismissal of Menedemus without the business
of Chremes going off to see his neighbors . The exit then would appear
to be to permit the soliloquy of Menedemus . However , the explanation
that the exit is merely to permit the soliloquy of Menedemus is unsatis
factory since the soliloquy contains nothing that advances the plot . The
sentiment expressed in the six lines could have been uttered in an aside
or addressed to Chremes himself . Conrad ' explains the exit as a " char

CONCLUSION
The testimony of the exits themselves permits no doubt of the truth
of the points which purpose of this thesis to prove . Therefore
it was the
the contribution of this thesis is the definite knowledge : ( 1 ) that motiva
tion of exits is never disregarded in Greek and Latin comedy , Old and
New ; ( 2 ) that the motivation of exits in said comedy is adequate and
not only offers immediate plausibility , but also serves to develop the plot ,
portray character , and provide humor ; ( 3 ) that the motivation of exits
in New Comedy as in the plays of Plautus , Terence , and
represented
Menander is derived that in Old Comedy and does not require the
from
influence ; (4 ) that , since adequate motivation is to be ex
