Abstract

The paper stresses the problematic relationship between justice and truth.Beyond the mere "legal" viewpoint equity tries to reveal something deeper, to bring to the surface something that has been lurking in the background. The novel explores the complexity of the human condition, which is to be reconsidered any time that a judgment has to be passed on an offender. We never can reach absolute justice , but only a degree of justice and fairness.
