Commedia plots almost always revolve around the plights of lovers attempting to get together. The old men often are the obstacles (the father refuses to let his daughter/son marry the one she wants) and the servants and zannis are the go-betweens, or the facilitators of the schemes. At a deep level the plots usually deal with the ability of the young to outwit the old, the elemental forces of spring following winter. Because the audiences of the day knew the characters, just as tv audiences are familiar with the characters of a sit-com, the plots were often less important than how the characters deal with the situations in which they find themselves. One of the best original sources for reading plots is Flaminio Scala's book of commedia scenarios.
