"King Lear" is a tragic play by William Shakespeare that explores the consequences of betrayal, greed, and familial discord. The aging King Lear divides his kingdom among his daughters, setting off a chain of events that lead to deception, madness, and ultimately, tragedy. As Lear faces the harsh realities of his decisions, the play delves into themes of power, loyalty, and the complexities of human nature. Shakespeare masterfully weaves a tale of personal and political turmoil, showcasing the destructive impact of unchecked ambition and the enduring strength of filial bonds.
