Erasmus Montanus or Rasmus Berg is a comedy from by Danish-Norwegian author Ludvig Holberg, and is one of the most well-known and popular Danish plays (along with Jeppe paa Bjerget, also by Holberg).The people in the little rural town of Bjerget are eagerly awaiting the return of Rasmus, the younger son of Jeppe and Maren Berg, who has been away at the University in Copenhagen and are now coming back to visit his family and his fiancee Lisbed, the daughter of the wealthy Jeronimus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rasmus turns up, very proud of his newfound learning and eager to show off. He insist on being called by his latinized name Erasmus Montanus, peppers his speech with Insane Troll Logic and Gratuitous Latin and falls into disputes with just about everybody he meets. At first the townspeople are impressed and a bit confused, but when Erasmus starts to insist that the Earth is round, confusion turns to horror and anger, and they denounce him, lead by Jeronimus, who will not have his daughter marry such a madman. Both his parents, his brother and Lisbed tries to make Erasmus change his mind, but he insist that he alone knows best.In the end, the townspeople enlist the help of The Lieutenant, who tricks Erasmus into joining the army. After a few hours of Training from Hell, Erasmus is ready to renounce all his ways and swear that "the earth is as flat as a pancake!" The humbled Erasmus is readmitted into the community and allowed to marry Lisbed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Book Dumb: Deacon-Peer obviously. Also Hieronimus, the father of Lisbeth. The point is proven when the debate on whether the earth is round or not escalates.

Author Avatar: The Lieutenant's final speech about what you ought to learn in school is very clearly Holberg's own thoughts on the subject.

Absent-Minded Professor: Erasmus after his university years. Jacob runs with it and laughs his ass off, telling how Erasmus managed to fit the trope a number of times: Almost falling off his carriage because of his antics, completely forgetting to put on his raincoat (which Jacob wisely used for himself), ignoring a dog that nearly bit him, and to top it all, walking straight into the barn, lecturing the cows. No wonder Jacob had the time of his life.
