摘要：Acerca del carácter de Euclión, el protagonista de Aulularia, los críticos se han planteado la cuestión de si es en realidad avaro o no. En comparación con el avaro de Molière, muchos han creído que no es un avaro, sino tan sólo un pobre (pauper) y un ser tacaño (parcus). Sin embargo, en el texto plautino hay pruebas suficientes de su avaricia; después de encontrar una olla llena de oro, se convierte en un nuevo rico que trata a toda costa de mantener intacto su tesoro; y eso es ser avaro. El lat. auarus no es sólo quien tiene el afán desenfrenado de adquirir riquezas, sino también quien manifiesta un temor enfermizo a perder la fortuna conseguida y rehúsa hacer uso de ella; en esta segunda acepción, Euclión es un auténtico avaro.↓Critics have raised the question whether Euclio, the main character of the Aulularia, is really an avaricious man or not. In comparison with Molière’s avare, several critics have thought that he is not a miser but only a poor (pauper) and stingy (parcus) person. However, in Plautus’ text there is sufficient proof of his avarice; after finding a pot full of gold, he becomes a nouveau riche who tries to keep his treasure intact by all means; and that is to be a miser. The Latin auarus is not only he who has an uncontrolled desire to acquire wealth, but also he who manifests an unhealthy fear of losing the obtained fortune and refuses to use it; in this second meaning, Euclio is a real avaricious character.
