About This Book

King Lear is a tragedy centered on an aging British monarch who decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters based on their flattery. This rash decision leads to the exile of his only loyal child and his own descent into madness as he is betrayed by his elder daughters. The play explores themes of suffering, the fragility of power, and the complex nature of filial relationships.
