- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to discuss the concept of justice in Shakespeare's plays: The Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure. The justice of Shakespearean courts and its effects on society are the focal points. Some examples are given from both of the plays admitting that justice is hard to define in these works since the legal authorities of each play perform a different style in the administration of laws. The conclusions will shed further light on the discussions about how the issues related to justice are reflected in Shakespearean plays.
