What is the significance of each kind of \"mad laughter\"? I shall identify fundamental differences, related to the different kinds of character, mental aberration and dramatic conflict presented in each genre, and more broadly to the dramatic structure and function of each. A first distinction can be made between laughter at madness, which we see especially in tragedy, and laughter with, or embracing of, madness, which we experience in comedy. The second distinction is between two profoundly different understandings of and approaches to mental aberration: as intensely individual, \"medical,\" affliction (in tragedy) on the one hand or as essentially a social problem (or sometimes blessing), with social consequences and, in some cases, social solutions (in comedy) on the other. In the process, we shall also consider the significance—and some of the complexities—of the \"curse versus blessing\" analysis; questions as to who directs the \"mad laughter\" and who are its audience(s) (the original audience of the play; onstage characters, mortal and divine; the modern reader); and some relevant features of the visual and physical depiction of madness—in particular the use of mask—in both genres.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"298 - 325"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49323916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Claudius—in full Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus—was a unique case. A man with severe disabilities and impairments since childbirth, he became emperor of Rome at the age of fifty on the death of his nephew, Caligula, thanks to an extraordinary stroke of luck. Therefore, he is a very promising case study as regards the attitudes of his contemporaries towards the disabled. In this famous satire on the apotheosis of Claudius, the late emperor becomes the target of scorn and laughter. Seneca exploits the comic potential of Claudius's bodily malfunctions and turns his physical and mental disturbances into comic material. I discuss Seneca's bitter ridicule of Claudius's defects and peculiarities, focusing on issues such as laughter as a mechanism of the damnatio memoriae, laughter as revenge, laughter as political commentary, and laughter as the release of surplus negative emotions against Claudius. Comparative treatment of passages from other authors, such as Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio, who also refer to Claudius's impairments, will shed light on Seneca's particular treatment of disability and disease.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"459 - 472"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42981161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
