초록

The stage structure of the Globe Theatre testifies that Shakespeare had a heightened sense of space composed of the center and the margins. The center is located in the inside area of the stage where the main action takes place. The margins, the area before the two pillars of the canopy, are a highly resourceful place where the main action in the center is commented on or criticized. First, this paper discusses the characters speaking on the margins or often conducting marginal functions in the center in Henry V and King Lear—Chorus and the Fool, respectively. On the other hand, the heightened sense of space composed of the center and the margins is also embedded in Shakespeare’s drama as a principle of dramatic construction. Secondly, this paper discusses the king’s experience with commoners in the margins in Shakespeare’s Henry V and King Lear, and its salutary, though painful, effects on the center—the king himself or the nation in the end. In the two plays, the margins where the kings encounter commoners are the most highlighted places either they are the heath in the storm or the darkening camp on the battlefield. Finally, Shakespeare’s concern with the margins in the two plays is examined in terms of his marginal status as a playwright in the Tudor and Stuart power politics and of the marginal location of the public theaters. As a commoner, Shakespeare the playwright used the stage as a forum to discuss contradictions and problems in the center, taking advantage of the location of the theater which made such explorations possible to some extent.

Abstract

The stage structure of the Globe Theatre testifies that Shakespeare had a heightened sense of space composed of the center and the margins. The center is located in the inside area of the stage where the main action takes place. The margins, the area before the two pillars of the canopy, are a highly resourceful place where the main action in the center is commented on or criticized. First, this paper discusses the characters speaking on the margins or often conducting marginal functions in the center in Henry V and King Lear—Chorus and the Fool, respectively. On the other hand, the heightened sense of space composed of the center and the margins is also embedded in Shakespeare’s drama as a principle of dramatic construction. Secondly, this paper discusses the king’s experience with commoners in the margins in Shakespeare’s Henry V and King Lear, and its salutary, though painful, effects on the center—the king himself or the nation in the end. In the two plays, the margins where the kings encounter commoners are the most highlighted places either they are the heath in the storm or the darkening camp on the battlefield. Finally, Shakespeare’s concern with the margins in the two plays is examined in terms of his marginal status as a playwright in the Tudor and Stuart power politics and of the marginal location of the public theaters. As a commoner, Shakespeare the playwright used the stage as a forum to discuss contradictions and problems in the center, taking advantage of the location of the theater which made such explorations possible to some extent.
