Abstract or Introduction
There is a whole library of books dealing with Shakespeare. Half of this library would sum him up as the world’s greatest dramatist-poet. Even when we are interested in his career as a lyrical and epic poet, we cannot avoid alluding to the dramas. The aim of this short study is to put the basic concept of the drama under a magnifying glass from a legal as well as moral aspect. We cannot, obviously, change the basic conflict or other features that inevitably led to the tragic end; however, it would be a noble and interesting task to draw up hypotheses which might have changed the climax as well as the dreadful outcome of the play. What moral and legal liability can be identified? What moral roles do the different characters play? Who could be blamed and what for? Who should not have been involved in the conflict?
