Answer 2

Answer :

The play 'The Pot of Gold' by Plautus reflects the different attitudes to wealth and women in Greek society. Through the means of several female characters Plautus depicts the marginal role of women in the society. It shows that women had very little social standing and were considered an object of  monetary value that changed hands through the business transaction of marriage.

Through the main symbol of 'The Pot of Gold,' the poet highlights that wealth is not the blessing that humans consider it to be but is a curse instead. A man who discovers hidden wealth becomes so obsessed with it that he no longer cares about his family members and other social responsibilities. He, thus, becomes a perfect example of human greed.
