King Lear's Britain / A World Ruled by Evil ?
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper analyzing the twin plots and three character groupings in Shakespeare's play. The paper shows that each of Lear's characters has some goodness (or at least a readily-understood motivation for his misdeeds), and that it takes mitigating circumstances to bring out his or her wicked behavior. Thus, King Lear's Britain is not truly a world ruled by evil; it was Lear's sin in the beginning that sparks the later evil in the play. Bibliography lists 6 additional sources.
