D.Litt. et Phil. (Latin) / The aim of this study is to establish the importance of the comparative and superlative degrees of the adjective in general, to evaluate the effectiveness of the comparatives and superlatives which Tacitus applies in his writings, and to ascertain what contribution they make to the individual texts and to the study of Tacitus' works as a whole. Conflict, contrast and comparison feature prominently in Tacitus' record and interpretation of historical events, and his portrayal of character. Conflict presupposes comparison and in this regard comparatives and superlatives may be considered indispensable elements of Tacitus' writings. His skill in applying these degrees of the adjective allows him to utilise them to the full, and, directly and indirectly, to record and interpret, inform and imply, enhance and enliven, compare and contrast, evoke and express, colour and persuade. The persuasive power that comparatives and superlatives possess may vary from negligible to significant and, consequently, they may be classified as neutral or loaded respectively. They fulfill both an intrinsic and contextual function, and an evaluation ~f their effectiveness can only be determined after consideration of both functions.

This thesis deals with Tacitus' portrayal of women by examining in detail a number of the female characters in the Annals in order to identify certain themes and ideas relating to women. The most striking theme to emerge from such an examination is that of the strong, powerful, almost masculine woman, and several of the characters examined exemplify this recurring theme. In portraying these characters Tacitus uses certain language patterns and techniques of characterisation, and this thesis is concerned with identifying such patterns and techniques. These include the recurring use of certain words with a specific connotation, and the employment of several methods of directing the reader's perception in the manner Tacitus desires. This manipulation of the reader's response is an example of Tacitus' direct and indirect authorial control, which is also evident in his technique of using his own and other authors' usage to create resonances for particular expressions. Of note is the fact that Tacitus avoids direct description of his characters, but rather allows their actions to reveal character. Given that Tacitus' main preoccupation in the Annals as a whole is the nature of the principate, he uses his portrayal of women to illuminate and comment upon his view of this form of government. The women chosen for study, with one exception, belong to the imperial circle since, with the inauguration of one man rule, those with ready access to the princeps had the most opportunity to break out of the mould of the traditional ideal of Roman womanhood. Boudicca, the British queen of the Iceni, has been chosen for study as a foil to the Roman women in order to highlight their manoeuvrings for personal power, while Octavia has been selected as an exemplar of the Roman ideal of womanhood. Although this is not a historical or sociological study, it must be noted that the evidence we have of the period about which Tacitus is writing is in fact one-sided evidence derived from a restricted social class, recorded by men, and an attempt to redress this balance is made by reference to contemporary studies of the legal and social position of women in Roman society. Consequently chapters on the historical background and the position of women respectively have been included as background. In addition other ancient sources have been consulted where this is appropriate in order to determine areas of bias in Tacitus. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1993.
