Summary/Abstract: If the ideals are not for idealists — is this the reason for the assertion that greatest truths have been written down between the lines? William Shakespeare most certainly was not the idealist we immagined him to be, and that what he has written — was not written between the lines but in verses. Shakespeare was not a lawyer, although in various ways he was connected with law. As every genuine creator, he could not avoid the state and the law' as a motive and subject of inspired narration. Here we, namely, have a good reason to remind the lawyers on valuable contribution of William Shakespeare to the ideas of state and law, since in his dramas we find eternal ideas of power, state, law, statutes and justice.
