Is a tragedy written through William Shakespeare. It tells the tale of a king who bequeaths his electricity and land to two of his 3 daughters, when they declare their love for him in a very fawning and obsequious way. His 0.33 daughter receives nothing, due to the fact she can no longer flatter him as her sisters had done. When he feels disrespected through the 2 daughters who now have his wealth and electricity, he will become livid to the factor of madness. He ultimately will become tenderly reconciled to his 0.33 daughter, just before tragedy strikes her and then the king.

Finally, I met with one of the most famous plays of Shakespeare. In this work, important and interesting topics are touched: the hypocrisy of people in pursuit of wealth and power, blinding deceitful speeches and disregard for the true virtues of the soul, cruelty and hot temper, deceived hopes and disappointment in loved ones. As for the king himself, Lear appears to be a rather absurd, selfish and domineering old man, who is too used to universal worship and has lost touch with reality.
