- Description
- Identifies three "predominant" characteristics shared in the characterizations of Pandarus in TC and of "the slave Spurius, who plays the part of a pander for a young lover in Guillaume de Blois' Latin farce 'Alda,' written somewhat before 1170: "remarkable confidence" in dealing with the problems of others, "paradoxical" behavior, and "uncanny eagerness" in participating in the affairs of others.
