📖 King Lear

`King Lear` is probably Shakespeare`s most powerful tragedy. It encompasses the horrific and the grotesque, the appalling and the poignant. Love and hate, loyalty and treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice, are all interwoven in a tempestuous drama which has become one of the classics of the world`s literature. Its meaning is still a matter of contention for intepreters. Is it Christian or anti-Christian? Does it suggest a providential pattern, or does it anticipate the theatre of the Absurd?
