[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper which considers the fairness of systems of punishment administered by fallible magistrates, discusses how these plays engaged contradictions between justice as an ideal and justice as a set of procedures for enforcement of a legal code, how Shakespeare’s treatment of the theme shapes both plays, and whether or not the nature of the critique is different in a comedy than in a tragedy. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
