King Lear
William Shakespeare’s play King Lear is an outstanding story that demonstrates the benefits and detriments of love. ... The most applicable examples of the iniquitous love are: King Lear’s judgment of love, Gloucester’s love for Edgar and the mutual irresistibility of the evil sisters toward Edmund. It is clear that this one of a kind emotion begins the play and fairly concludes King Lear, but it first eliminates the tragedy that love itself brings. ... In fact, love in King Lear is the force that starts all the trouble and is a tragedy in itself. The play is introduced to the reader when King Lear is dividing his Kingdom. ... When Cordelia says: “…Sure I shall never marry like my sisters, to love my father all…” King Lear gets outraged and banishes his most loved daughter. ... The tragedy that lies ahead of King Lear is incomparable to the banishment of Cordelia. Goneril and Regan do not really love their father and it takes no time for them to start plotting against King Lear. The unexpected King is bewildered by the cold treatment of his daughter and slowly starts to loose his mind. ... As soon as King Lear says: “… I will have such revenges on you both, That all the world shall – I will do such things, What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be The terrors of the earth… “ the audience knows that the family is forever separated and there is no way of compromise.
