Sažetak
Scholarship on Senecan drama in the Renaissance has identified a special kind of dramatic scene in which one character seeks advice from another in order to decide on the wisdom of a particular course of action. Because these scenes often feature a mistress (domina) and her nurse (nutrix), they have been dubbed domina-nutrix scenes, but Seneca’s plays contain differently gendered instances of this important dramatic unit. Even when not directly engaged with the legacy of Seneca, Renaissance dramatists across Europe recognized the usefulness of the counseling scene and developed complex versions of it to motivate dramatic characters, build intricate plots, and elaborate specific thematic concerns. This presentation considers Shakespeare’s use of the counseling scene in the wider European context, where in the course of the sixteenth century and in different vernacular traditions the counseling scene became one of the most familiar and most mobile dramatic devices.
