Roman Masks
The mask easily conveyed emotions to
the audience so they knew if a character was happy, sad,
upset, tired, or scared *** The Tragic mask carried
mournful or pained expressions *** Comic masks were smiling or
leering
*** Over time the comedic masks
became grotesquely exaggerated
Masks allowed the actors to play multiple parts and roles
*** The masks could be
personalized for each character
Status and character
were easily conveyed *** The masks were color coded,
brown for men and white for women
