Cliffs Notes On Shakespeare's King Lear

by James K. Lowers

In this tragic play, Lear, a ruler in pre-Christian Britain, is described as a "very foolish old man, fourscore and upward." Grossly misjudging his daughters, he endures a harrowing experience and emerges as a man "more sinned against than sinning."

I had to go back and brush up on my Shakespeare to find out how much of Christoper Moore's book "Fool" actually follows King Lear

More prep for the Shakespeare Festival. What? Is this play five hours long?

Sometimes you just have to be honest with you friends.

I was busy that week in high school.
