| 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.
