Summary/Abstract |
The play is still immensely popular because the struggle for political power it portrays has changed very little over the centuries. It reflects Shakespeare's sense of theatre as it shows individual characters continually speaking or performing to other individuals or to gatherings.

Summary/Abstract |
King Lear is a play primarily about society, power, property and inheritance and is a prime example of Shakespeare's tragic genius. It is also a personal tragedy, about Lear's journey to redemption. It portrays how human dignity is assaulted and reduced but also shows the process of restoration and ultimately, the power of love.
