셰익스피어 작품의 언어 표현에서 본 뇌의 역할: <줄리어스 시저> <맥베스> <헨리 4세> <템페스트> 작품을 중심으로

초록

Recent development of the brain instruments such as PET and fMRI reveals how the secrets of the brain are hidden in languages and literatures. In this study I investigate some of Shakespeare's well-known works to see how the secrets of the brain hidden in his works were revealed in recent fMRI experiments. First I explore how the images of the number are dealt with in the brain through his work of Julius Caesar. And then I discuss how the acting of washing hands are relevant with purifying our mind through his work of Macbeth. And I also investigate how honor or social reputation in our mind is dealt with in the brain through his works of Julius Caesar, and Henry IV. Finally I investigate how the healing power of music is proceeded in the brain through his work of Tempest.
