Answer:
Plautus satirises the aristocracy in The Pot of Gold by using irony and humour. He mostly accomplishes this through the persona of Euclio, a miserly miser who is greedy and for whom riches neither offers happiness nor security.
Explanation:
Plautus' works have a more overtly comic effect; they typically make the reader laugh out, and occasionally they even veer toward a slapstick-like effect. For instance, the scene in The Swaggering Soldier's prologue.
By include "metadramatic" sequences, in which a play within a play is introduced, playwrights remind the audience of their location and bring out the comedic elements in the dramas.
Plautus' dramatic irony in the aside remarks further differs from the Aristophanic version in that the statements are typically made to other characters in the play rather than the audience, or they are generally made to no one in particular.
