King Lear by William Shakespeare
3.0

King Lear is full of deeply flawed characters acting in an evil manner and speaking a beautiful poetic language. The depth of the nihilism in the play approaches surrealism. None of the characters suffering leads to personal growth or redemption. This has been the most tragic of the Shakespearian tragedies I have read.
