Answer 1

1.     The Father has a more direct impact on the story when he meets Menaechmus II, who, irritated by the uncertainty caused by the misplaced identities and the Wife's ranting, pretends to be insane. "A strong and severe disease!" the Father determines he must get the Doctor to heal his son-in-law: "The gods guard us from the similar." See how strong he was a moment before, and now he's enraged by disease's quick access [sic]" (92). The madness, combined with his son-in-theft laws of the clothing, has rendered Menaechmus II unfit for society. "[The Father's] support of his son-in-follies law's is reliant on the young man following specific standards," scholar Eleanor Winsor Leach argues. Adultery is permissible, but stealing the matron's palla is not... If Menaechmus is insane, he is disrupting the social order, therefore the old man quickly imprisons him."

2.     Menaechmi had two brothers, one named Sosicles and the other Menaechmus; however, Menaechmus was transported from his home in Syracuse to Tarentum by his father and lost there, prompting the boys' grandfather to alter Sosicles' name to Menaechmus, partly in commemoration of the lost brother's memory.

3.     The well-to-do, as shown in the Menaechmus brothers; the paid lady, Erotium; the slave, Messenio; the parasite, Brush; and the professional, the Doctor are all represented in the book. While social status influences what a person can do, where they can go, and how they act, it does not account for intelligence or wit. Brush and Messenio, while being at the bottom of the social ladder, are two of the play's most intelligent characters.
