A review by bibliotequeish
King Lear by William Shakespeare

4.0

King Lear divides his kingdom among his three daughters based on their love for him. When his youngest daughter, refuses to flatter him, he disowns her, leading to betrayal and tragedy.

I really enjoyed King Lear.
I re read this as an adult and I think I was able to appreciate it a lot more.
Lear’s love for his daughters, though misguided, feels so relatable... Lets get real, I have two little boys and I can totally understand his desperate desire for love and validation from his kids.
I mean its totally not healthy, but I get it. Nothing cuts deeper than your three year old telling you they don't like you.
A very real reminder that our decisions as parents can have far-reaching effects.
