Book Review: Thousand Times More Fair - What Shakespeare's plays teach us about justice. Kenji Yoshino. Publisher Martins Fontes. São Paulo. 2014. Aldo Rodrigues Souza

Abstract

Kenji Yoshino, a law professor at New York University, in "A Thousand Times More Fair" seeks to find and study in some of the immortal plays of William Shakespeare, issues related to law and justice: "Titus", "The Merchant of Venice","Measure for Measure" , "Othello" , "The Sovereign" , "Macbeth", "Hamlet”," King Lear" and "The Tempest". To Kenji Yoshino Shakespeare seeks to drag us toward justice. We must therefore thank him and our own nature. Each of us has a desire to be a thousand times more fair. That is the call that we should meet, because we are human and because we can hear.
