Abstract

William Shakespeare in his function of man of letters has often put the lawat the centre of his analysis or in the background of his plays. Some law casesare frequently emplotted within his dramatic narrations, either secretly lurkingin metaphors or openly present in his so-called trial scenes. He clearly realizedthat the literary and juridical worlds had many elements in common that couldfoster the intertwining of the two fields, also by means of the use of legalterminology.
