Often called Shakespeare’s most ambitious tragedy, King Lear traces the catastrophic consequences of an ageing king’s decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters according to their declarations of love. As Lear descends into madness and the natural order collapses around him, the play becomes a shattering examination of pride, ingratitude, and the limits of human endurance.
Written around 1605, King Lear is one of the most challenging and rewarding works in all of drama. Download this free EPUB and read it on any device.
