What is the Literary genre of roman playwright Plautus?

Plautus is known for writing Roman comedy. Specifically, his plays fall into the genre of New Comedy, which focused on:

* Domestic situations: Often centered around love, marriage, and family relationships.

* Stock characters: Characters like the cunning slave, the braggart soldier, and the miser were common.

* Farcical elements: Plautus' plays were full of slapstick humor, mistaken identities, and wordplay.

* Happy endings: Despite the comedic chaos, most of his plays ended with a positive resolution.

While Plautus drew inspiration from Greek New Comedy, he added his own Roman flavor and wit to the genre, making him a major figure in Roman literature.
