There are varying levels of social class in the text: the well-to-do, as seen in the Menaechmus brothers; the paid woman, Erotium; the slave, Messenio; the parasite, Brush; and the professional, the Doctor. Social class dictates what a person can do, where they can go, how they can act, etc., but it also cannot account for intellect and cleverness. Brush and Messenio are two of the cleverest characters in the play though they are at the lowest rungs of the social ladder.
