“…To this effect, I first relate the surveillance practices of Shakespeare’s time to some of the play’s prevalent thematic pairs: imprisonment and punishment, authority and the prerogatives of the ruler, divine rule and secular law. I then show that the Duke stands as a polymorphous vehicle of surveillance, his status being characterised by hypervision and overinformation, but also by a propensity to act as a stage producer. …”
