Résumé
This paper aims at studying the textual motif quid metuis / times ? in Plautus’ comedies. The concept of motif shows how the scenes where it appears function discursively and ludically. The analysis of its occurrences reveals that this motif characterizes some characters’ types and that it structures some dialogues relatively fixed, called ludic topos. By this way, it brings to light the metatheatricality and the codification of Plautus’ theatre.
