In this world, people have this natural desire to protect the people they love and care for in their lives. This need can manifest in many ways, at times it comes across as the harsh criticism of a parent and other times it is the helping hand of a best friend or lover. In Shakespeare’s King Lear, the Fool plays as the protective role toward his master Lear. The Fool uses humour and sarcasm to try and push Lear to make the smart decision and the Fool acts as his voice of reason, although Lear tends not to fully comprehend his lessons. Not only does the Fool offer a sense of comic relief for the audience, but his witty lines have a more protective and caring attitude underlying them.

Shakespeare’s King Lear is a tragic about an aging King of Britain and his three daughters. When it comes time to divide his kingdom, he puts his daughters through a test to prove how much they love him. The two older daughters, Goneril and Regan, give King Lear flattering answers and therefore receive great amounts of finer land. The third and youngest daughter, Cordilia, says that she has no words to describe how much she loves her father. King Lear becomes enraged with Cordilia and disowns her and gives her no land. The rest of the play tells the story of how the two older daughters become corrupt and get greedy. King Leer is thrown out of his own house by his daughters and begins his

Shakespeare’s fools are more than just court jesters. Their purpose is to provide insight and wisdom, which they often do in a witty manner. In King Lear, by William Shakespeare, the Fool behaves as a symbol for King Lear’s rationality and sanity. Throughout the play, Lear’s rationality and sanity quickly diminishes; causing a transformation into a literal fool. After the storm, Lear’s sanity and rationality completely disappear and Lear completes his transformation into the literal fool. The Fool is not present for the remainder of the play because Lear no longer has rationality and sanity.

This initial printing is now referred to as the First Quarto. Another Quarto version was printed in 1619, and King Lear appeared again in a 1623 Folio edition. "King Lear would be an excellent choice for the most virtuosic play Shakespeare ever wrote. It has great verbal brilliance—but so too do Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, and indeed others of his plays as well".( Raffel, 2007: xvii).Shakespeare's drama is ever connected with the point of presenting a moral idea which Man endeavours to have,

The concept of “nothing” in Shakespeare’s King Lear is vital to the development of the characters and the relationships between them. The symbol of “nothing” represents the fear the characters have of altering their current status’ to irrelevant and indigent. At the onset of the play the concept of nothing is misunderstood as it is oftenly in the entire play, King Lear and Cordelia use “nothing” but they both have different ways of using the word which creates the conflict and leads the plot. As Cordelia tries to explain to her father (Lear) that she cannot put her feelings for him into words by saying nothing, Lear misunderstands and asserts “nothing will come from nothing.

The internal values of both books connect them with the Human Condition of man, His love of family in King Lear, with his

Day one of our discussion brought up the catharsis in King Lear (#4). I agreed that with Gloucester’s death there was not so much catharsis as there was sympathy and happiness. As readers, I think we were happier to see Gloucester put out of his misery “Pluck out his poor eyes” (3.7.58) and relieved at the fact that he died “smilingly” (5.3.201). I agreed that we readers were happy about Edgar’s ending since he had so much bad fortune throughout the play he deserved a break, which came in the form of him inheriting power. I thought Joe’s comment was interesting in pointing out that both Edgar and Kent were at the bottom of the wheel at the start of the play with Kent banished “Out of my sight” (1.1.157) by Lear simply

Morals contribute to the process of thinking and committing actions. Looking from a moral criticism perspective, Shakespeare's King Lear breaks many morals that today’s society values. Breaking these valued morals leads to madness that encompasses the characters’ minds and “eliminates all rational thoughts” (Bali). In Shakespeare’s King Lear, blindness results in misjudgments, leaving the person to decide to either change for the better or allow stubbornness to overrule.

The soliloquy done by Kent provides background information that may be of importance to the big picture of King Lear; this information includes the plan of the French and how Lear’s kingdom has changed after power was given to Regan and Goneril.

Nobody is capable of changing the past. A person’s mistakes and the pain that they inflict on other people are permanent and irreversible. The potential to repair the damage lies by changing the future, not the past. Many characters in William Shakespeare’s play, King Lear, realize their mistakes by suffering, and attempt to correct them through good deeds. Lear’s experience with poverty helps him recognize his misconception of love and accept Cordelia’s forgiveness. Gloucester’s loss of sight makes him see his misjudgement, which he rectifies by obeying a higher being. Edmund feels sorrow for his actions and decides to do good by trying to save Cordelia and Lear’s lives. In the play, the suffering of the characters, Lear, Gloucester,

King Lear is considered by many scholars as one of the most influential plays that William Shakespeare wrote, and while people around the world praise his style of writing, many pieces and quotes are a subject of debates whose purpose is to interpret their meaning and to apply those circumstances to the way we see the world now. The lines given in the prompt are an example of how Lear viewed the relationship between justice and wealth, a topic in which my personal opinion is similar to how Lear thinks about this subject and I intend to prove my point with substantial examples related with it.

William Shakespeare, a playwright of the 1600 's, has been well known for writing many plays and poems. His play titled The Tragedy of King Lear is remembered globally and is learned in many schools today. A continuous theme in King Lear is a disguise, which consists of many different forms. There are physical, manipulative, and figurative disguises. In the beginning of the play, characters already fall into this category.
