This research explores how narrative shapes legal understanding, applying narrative theory to Roman leges Iuliae marriage laws. By reinterpreting fragmented historical sources, it examines how legal storytelling influences both ancient and modern perspectives on law and marriage, offering a new framework for analysing legal systems through narrative structures.

This research argues that traditional self-sacrificing hero narratives no longer fit a complex, modern world. Using an animated screenplay as a case study, it proposes a metamodern approach centered on collective liberation. The work blends critical theory and creative practice to show how contemporary storytelling can inspire collaboration rather than individual heroism.
