King Lear tells of an old‚ senile ruler who‚ having given up his title‚ divides his land between his two villainous daughters‚ and his third daughter is exiled. Parallel to Lears situation is the sub-plot of Gloucester‚ whose bastard son betrays him and his legitimate son Edgar.

Both King Lear and Gloucester
