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].

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.
