- Title
THE SPECTRAL OTHER OR THE SELF: JUSTICE IN RICHARD III.
- Authors
KARAMAN, HATICE
- Abstract
Shakespearean tragedies have featured villains who inspired in-depth criticism, especially when paired with the themes of justice and revenge. King Richard III is one of the most famous cases in point. The present study will suggest a re-reading of the tragedy from an ethical perspective, with references to selected works of Emmanuel Levinas and Hannah Arendt. In this context, the villainy of Richard III will be re-assessed, and his author's understanding of justice will be examined, in the light of the two different philosophical approaches; the focus will be placed on the exploration of Richard's relationship with the other(s) and with himself.
