Let’s talk only about what we like.
François Truffaut
A Reflection
Law, as a human and social construct, manifests itself in our interactions and in world literature. Classic plays such as Antigone by Sophocles illustrate the conflict between state law and individual law. They raise questions about the supremacy of written law versus common law.
In El cantar del mío Cid, legal issues such as the oath of Santa Gadea and the defense of family honor are addressed, reflecting the legal context of the time. Similarly, El Conde Lucanor by Don Juan Manuel explores the code of honor of knights, highlighting the importance of fame and social status.
Leonardo Sciascia, in works such as The Council of Egypt and To Each His Own, examines law in contemporary Sicily, questioning the relationship between justice and social norms. In The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, he analyzes how civil law adapts to the new bourgeoisie after Italian unification.
Through these works, literature not only reflects the evolution of law, but also invites reflection on its role in society and its impact on our lives.
Up to this point, many works remain unfinished. The vision of law before the industrial era and how it evolved until we reached capitalism. Since it would be too long to continue, we will wait for another occasion to do so.
Conclusion:
At The Lighthouse Team, we understand that life is constantly evolving and we are committed to accompany you every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure that your changes are always in sync with the laws and legal framework, so that they can support and empower your dreams.
