What is the price of power? "King Lear" by William Shakespeare explores this provocative question. Regarded as one of the bard's greatest tragedies, it narrates the tale of an aging king who, in a fit of folly, divides his kingdom among his daughters. The narrative spirals into a whirlwind of deceit, madness, and heart-wrenching loss. Shakespeare masterfully crafts a landscape where familial bonds are severed, loyalty is tested, and the very fabric of morality is torn. As you navigate through the stormy seas of King Lear's life, you find yourself questioning the nature of love, power, and sanity. A timeless masterpiece, "King Lear" is a haunting exploration of human frailty and the destructive potential of absolute power.
