More Details
- Summary:
- One of Shakespeare's greatest tragic roles, King Lear was, in fact, a real king, and the premise of Lear dividing his kingdom among his daughters is, for the most part, supposedly true. One of Shakespeare's later plays, its ending may reflect something of his own mature cynicism. The powers of good fail, but Plummer finds that beneath the cosmic emptiness, the possibility of love survives.
