This study aims to discuss, in an introductory manner, the distinctions between natural law, positivism, and normative positivism, correlating these concepts with the works Antigone by Sophocles and The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. The analysis follows the chronological evolution of legal thought and includes critiques from authors who address the topic. Antigone represents natural law, as it reflects the prevalent values and morality of the time, while The Merchant of Venice examines the applicability and reversibility of norms in society according to prevailing values. This article examines how moral values influence the validity of norms and their perceptions by different societies and social groups.
