The theme arises from the legal-academic movement "Law and
Literature". This newly developed field should aim at two major
goals, first, to investigate the meaning of law in a social context
by questioning how the characters appearing in literary works
understand and behave themselves to the law (law in literature),
and second, to find out a theoretical solution of the
methodological question whether and to what extent the legal text
can be interpreted objectively in comparison with the question how
literary works should be interpreted (law as literature). The
subject of justice and injustice has been covered not only in
treatises of law and philosophy, but also in many works of
literature: On the one hand, poets and writers have been outraged
at the social conditions of their time. On the other hand, some of
them have also contributed fundamental reflections on the idea of
justice itself.
