König Lear
Book • 2006
King Lear, written by William Shakespeare, is a tragedy that tells the story of King Lear of Britain, who decides to retire and divide his kingdom among his three daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia.
The eldest two daughters, Goneril and Regan, flatter Lear to gain larger shares, while Cordelia, the youngest and most honest daughter, refuses to make insincere declarations of love.
This leads to her disinheritance and banishment.
The play unfolds with Lear's descent into madness, the betrayal of the Earl of Gloucester by his illegitimate son Edmund, and the eventual invasion by the King of France to restore order.
The plot is marked by themes of power, loyalty, and the consequences of rash decisions.
