Law, Literature, and Legal Interpretation in “The Merchant of
Venice”
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses law and literature and
addresses the question as to why there is a problem of
interpretation. Legal interpretation and questions related to
such interpretation form a commonplace reality in the modern
world -- from high-profile circumstances such as that of
President Clinton asking “what is is” to the most mundane of
arguments regarding property rights or traffic accidents. In
Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” the role of legal
interpretation in is an important aspect of the entire work In
“The Merchant of Venice,” Shakespeare also adds another level of
legal interpretation to be considered by both the characters in
the play and the audience -- interpretation of religious law.
Various criticisms and theories related to the intent and process
of legal interpretation are presented in this paper and
discussed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Inclusion of Historical, Cultural, and Religious Influences in the Themes and Works of Walt Whitman, William Shakespeare and William Golding
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper on the themes and influences on the works of Walt Whitman, William Shakespeare and William Golding. An introductory outline is included. American poet Walt Whitman, British playwright William Shakespeare and British writer William Golding all manage to include important historical, cultural, religious and societal influences in the themes within their writing. Whitman who was greatly distressed over the political situation and destructiveness of the American Civil War in the 19th century included these concerns in his collection of war poems entitled “Drum Taps” which portrayed not only the excitement during the recruitment stages but also the description and compassion felt for those who were injured or dying as a result of the war. William Shakespeare who wrote during the late 16th and early 17th centuries depicted a somewhat different societal theme evident at the time in his play “The Merchant of Venice” which portrayed the views and attitudes towards Jews in Elizabethan England. The theme of the conflict which existed between the Christians and Jews is reflected in the Jew Shylock portrayed as a villain, a common portrayal for the Jews at that time. Lastly, William Golding in his novel “The Lord of the Flies” (1954) reveals the theme of the horrors of war and the darkness which can overcome a man’s character through the loss of civilization in which not even children can escape; no doubt as a reflection of his own experiences and involvement during World War II.
