Abstract

Despite the fact that many of Shakespeare"s plots are adopted from the chronicles or other stories written hy other writers, today almost all of his critics agree that what marks the superiority of his plays over the same imitated stories is his genius in creating characters, situations and atmospheres through which he renders and vivifies his universal and humanistic concepts and themes effectively. With regard to the above-mentioned point, this essay is meant to focus on two major issues from a structuralist point of view: First it will elaborate on Shakespeare"s creation of character foils which contrihutes to the vivid depiction of the key characters and the presentation of their overt or covert motivations. Second, the article will concentrate on Shakespeare"s particular technique of creating counter-scenes which serves as a means to characterization and the enhancement of the major themes. (Of course, by counter-scenes the writer means parallel scenes as we1I as the opposite ones.)
