Problem

Compare the decadent behavior that is displayed at Trimalchio's dinner party, with a few examples. (Note: this scene is depicted in The Satyricon novel by Petronius.) Compare that with the tone and subject-matter of Confessions of Augustine.

Remember that the former work is comedic satire, a work of fiction arising from Ancient Rome of the time of Nero (37 A.D. - 68 A.D.)

The latter work is Augustine's autobiography (written about 397 - 400 A.D.), but both stories implicitly discuss spiritual emptiness and ways - useful and not - of alleviating it.
