초록

The purpose of this paper is to show how the secrets of the brain hidden in language expressions of Shakespeare's comedies are revealed through brain image experiments such as fMRI. First, I discuss how human memory works in the brain through Shakespeare's comedies The Tempest and Love's Labour's Lost. Second, I explore how the old men's childish behavior and oblivion relevant to the last scene of seven ages are dealt with in the brain through his comedy As You Like It. Third, I show what happens in the brain while we are possessed with the emotion of hatred as well as love through his comedy The Merchant of Venice. Finally, I investigate how the Othello syndrome is dealt with in the brain through his comedy The Winter's Tale.
