Abstract

This paper explores the various manners in which the literary texts
of certain plays written by William Shakespeare can be interpreted coherently. The
possibility to supply a connection between the structure of a play and some of its
themes will be depicted in the usage of image schemas as useful devices in the
process of interpretation. Image schemas will be described in a general fashion and
further exemplified in some of Shakespeare’s plays. The main goal is to show how
image schemas can serve as solid sources of knowledge for the readers and/or the
audiences of Shakespeare’s plays.
