Lear and Comedy.... Lear and Comedy. Strangely enough‚ it is G. Wilson Knight‚ a critic famous (not to say notorious) for a vehemently Christian interpretation of Shakespeare’s plays‚ who notes in The Wheel of Fire some of the comedic aspects of King Lear[1]. Whether or not the harsh moral ecology of King Lear fits comfortably with the Christian ethos of forgiveness‚ structural elements of comedy are plainly present in King Lear‚ quite apart from the sardonic humour of the Fool. Indeed‚ a ‘happy

Animal imagery in King Lear is used to effectively emphasize the vulnerability

King Lear‚ when read from a Marxist perspective‚ blames everything on the conflict of classes. In particular‚ there is a focus on the traditional feudalism versus the "new" capitalism. Lear is viewed as a hero because he manages to journey from being a mentally impoverished king to a simple man‚ while Cordelia is the heroine.

King Lear by William Shakespeare is regarded as one of the greatest tragic plays ever written. We see heroes die left and right for what is “right”‚ we see the bad guys come to their demise and‚ in the end‚ we are left with Edgar of Gloucester.

The average playgoer would say this with ease: the

The second way is how they can both be analyzed to themes such as; family‚ betrayal‚ loyalty‚ and selfishness. The third way that they relate to each other is how RAN uses Japanese drama to portray a Shakespearean tragedy. Kurosawa
