Based on the assumption that Shakespeare is versed in the legal codes in his time, this paper intends to locate all the legal inaccuracies in The Merchant of Venice, a play known for its legal theme, and argues that these aberrations are consciously committed. Shakespeare deliberately creates a court scene that flouts important legal principles so as to reflect inequalities in the power relationships between various subcultures; law, the supposed embodiment of justice, is subtly tilted in favor of the more privileged groups and the more established discourses.
