Literature such as “A Young Person’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn‚ and “Scarlet Letter” depict those

    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

    of their characters‚ I chose King Lear as one who reveals to me the most surprising and unexpected in the scenes through soliloquies and monologues.   First of all‚ it is important to know a brief history of King Lear. He is an aging man who is loyal and a father that is loving to his daughters.
