King Lear (1608)
Creators: Loved King Lear divides his kingdom among the two daughters who flatter him and banishes the third one who loves him. His eldest daughters both then reject him at their homes, so Lear goes mad and wanders through a storm. His banished daughter returns with an army, but they lose the battle and Lear, all his daughters and more, die.
Loved
LovedKing Lear is disturbing, stormy. There is electricity in the air. There's a tangible lurking, brooding madness.

LovedHis plays are iconic, his scenes are iconic, the dialogue, the lines are iconic. I recommend watching the stage adaptations if you decide to read his plays because they were of course meant to be seen and not just read because it's so different to see to see a play visually because there isn't description, it's just dialogue.

LikedI like King Leia I don't know it half as well as I know the other two but I know it and knowing it helped
LovedI think Macbeth Hamlin and probably King Lear are the five stars to come out of this course and I've had a great time
