"Terence's Andrian" by W. R. Goodluck, Jun. is a comedy written in the early 19th century. This work is a translation of the original play by the Roman playwright Terence, delving into themes of love, social dynamics, and family. The plot revolves around characters such as Pamphilus, his father Simo, and Glycera, exploring the complications in romantic relationships and familial expectations. The opening of "Andrian" introduces us to Simo and his freedman Sosia, who are discussing Simo's son, Pamphilus, and his impending arranged marriage. Simo is determined to secure the union, which he believes is essential for his son’s future, although he suspects Pamphilus's heart lies with Glycera, a woman he loves. As Simo reveals the tensions between these relationships, the stage is set for misunderstandings and comic developments to unfold, highlighting Terence's skill in combining humor with poignant social observations. The act concludes with a promise of turmoil as Pamphilus grapples with his feelings and the pressures of his father’s expectations, foreshadowing a colorful exploration of his struggles with love and duty.
