caomhghin 's review for:

King Lear by William Shakespeare
5.0

After the umpteenth reading, and another viewing, one can still find more in Lear. This time, for some reason, the cross links in the play (character, imagery, action) seemed to stand out a little more than usual. The whole play came over even more as a seamless, flowing whole - cross linking itself but also doing it to life, society, humanity. Lear's anger is constant until he finds a short lived final peace but the subject of his anger turns more and more outward. Edgar's growing clarity echoes this as he grows from naivety throught idiocy to wisdom. And so much more.
