Shakespeare´s orchards and the Rosalind-principle: Implications of Nature´s Role in the Playwright´s Work

By Bernd-Peter Liegener

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.
