This reading was fantastic! Many people (my mother in particular) have called me snarky at one time or another, but even I could take some serious sass lessons from Magdalia!
But, since her wit has been so thoroughly covered already, I'll try and talk about something else.
We don't know much about Magdalia's husband but we get a couple glimpses... And I love him! In particular, when Antronius says, "I wouldn't want a learned wife," and she responds with, "But I congratulate myself on having a husband different that you. For learning endears him more to me and me to him," I find myself greatly admiring their relationship. My husband and I spend a lot of time together and enjoy doing lots of different things, but one of our favorite things to do is read together. We'll take turns reading something and then we'll spend many minutes, sometimes hours, discussing it and picking it apart. I almost never feel so close to him as when we're learning together. I thought maybe that was just us, but I'm glad to see that we're not such weirdos after all!
P.s. I commented here
