Shakespeare´s orchards and the Rosalind-principle: IMPLICATIONS OF NATURE´S ROLE IN THE PLAYWRIGHT´S WORK

This is a paper on two pairs of twinned plays by Shakespeare. The role of nature as healing agent is described. A comparison between green and human nature shows that in an Elizabethan view assumed female properties can be matched to properties of nature. Performing a spacial analysis we find an enormous potenial for creativity in intermediate spaces. Be it between patriarchal and natural space or between what was seen in Shakespeare´s time as male or female behaviour.
