The aim of this paper is to present how a keyword analysis offers an empirical way of revealing lexical and grammatical patterns that provide solid evidence for the understanding of the characters in a particular play. In addition, such an approach, which contributes to the field of corpus stylistics, can give significant information about the emergence of both individual and group identities. Based on positioning theory, the analysis of the statistically important words reveals how “acts of gender identities” are constructed, not only in comparison and opposition to the other characters, but also in relation to social and ideological value systems concerning the relationship of men and women.
