La figura del vino en la obra de William Shakespeare

Abstract

This paper studies the meaning of wine in the dramatic structure of Shakespeare’s plays. We will analyse how wine underlines climatic or relaxed moments and how it is basic for the plot or intrigue of the play. We will study all the topics related with wine, such as social classes, celebrations or treachery. Finally, we will also analyse Shakespeare’s most used words for wine in his dramatic production. Therefore, we will appreciate how they are related to Spain, such as sherris and canaries.
