Nesse mundo, a figura do advogado é central, pois ele garante a validade dos contratos enquanto participa de uma rápida cultura de troca, envolvendo múltiplos tipos de propriedade. Webster retrata uma imagem tortuosa desse mundo, centrada em figuras e problemas legais. Por um lado, temos vários advogados representando diferentes matizes de justiça ou injustiça; por outro lado, vemos a importância da propriedade e de como lidar com ela, daí a importância dos testamentos.2018text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7490796(Revista) ISSN 2446-8088Anamorphosis: Revista Internacional de Direito e Literatura, ISSN 2446-8088, null 4, Nº. 2, 2018 (Ejemplar dedicado a: julho-dezembro), pags. 345-356engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

The world that is depicted in The Devil’s Law Case by John Webster is a typical mercantile world, based on all kinds of contracts: transfers of money, shipping profits, class interaction between merchants and aristocracy through marriage contracts. In this world the figure of the lawyer is central, for he guarantees the validity of the contracts as he participates in this rapid exchanging of various sorts of property. Webster portrays a tortuous world picture centred on legal figures and legal problems. On one hand we have several lawyers representing different hues of justice, or injustice; on the other hand, we see the importance of property and how to deal with it, hence the importance of wills.
