| مستخلص: |
The meaning of Shakespeare’s divine interventions have long been hotly contested. Do they represent a significant contribution to theological debate, or are they inconsistent and incompatible deus ex machina? In this article I explore Shakespeare’s presentation of Diana in Pericles and Jupiter in Cymbelline as representations of ‘new’ divinities that synthesise elements of Plato’s critique of the gods with the New Testament’s emphasis on love and faith. Through close readings of both plays I aim to explore Shakespeare’s contribution to the theological-political problem; are gods necessary, as Socrates argues, for the maintenance of a just regime?
