The theme of this paper is to analyze the 'growing up' of Scuderi, a Court lady poet, from the viewpoint of the jurist, and to consider the relationship between the power of a nation and the administration of justice in accordance with the granting of a grace or pardon. In the criminal society of Paris under the control of Louis the 14^<th>, who is proudly called the twinkling polestar of every love and gallantry, Miss Scuderi was protected and isolated from the real criminal world. But after the sudden break in by Olivier into her house, she is fatally thrown into the middle of the criminal affair of Cardillac. Because of the Madelon's beauty and her own belief that Olivier is not guilty, she works for Olivier as an examining judge. D'Andilly, the most significantly helpful person, gives her much legal advice, including the grace. At last, in the presence of Louis the 14^<th> she can successfully ask for the redemption of Oliver and through behavior she becomes a real writer, a 'serapion' writer. The grace is very important, but it has no relation with the law. Not in the poetic presentation, the fictional poetic possibility of sublation of the contradiction between the positive justice, which the jurist can realize, and the absolute justice but in the real life, which can be told by a 'serapion' writer, she can display through herself, the poetic presentation.
