N2  - This dissertation investigates the fool 
figure?s complexity and the transformation from Plautus? clever slaves to Shakespeare?s clever 
servants, witty heroines and most of all, the wise fool. The thesis offers a detailed description of Plautus? "servus callidus", 
his concept, embedment, and function for comedy as a prototype of the professional fool. To analyze the relations between those 
instantiations of one type distanced by centuries and their ideologies, an explanatory model 
for cultural dynamics will be introduced. It is an 
attempt to understand the transformation of popular configurations juxtaposing folly and 
wisdom, the comparability and continuity of the underlying pattern paradox, and its sequence 
of productivity. This thesis investigates the productivity of the pattern and its type in Shakespeare?s
plays, focusing on Plautus? clever slave as an available source.
