Abstract

The article explores the intersection of law and literature, focusing on how 19th-century novelists used legal themes to reflect societal shifts towards legal codification and procedural complexity. It highlights how these legal elements influenced both literary structure and thematic depth, drawing parallels between legal processes and narrative techniques, as seen in works like Dostoevski's The Brothers Karamazov.
