King Lear, written in 1605, is famous for its boldness of vision in Shakespeare's plays. Old King Lear wanted to abdicate and give his land to his three daughters. At the time of enfeoffment, he asked each of his daughters to talk about their love for him, and distributed the land to them according to their love for him. The eldest daughter Gonaril and the second daughter Reagan spoke highly of the king. Only Cordelia, the youngest daughter, was expelled from King Lear for expressing her pure and sincere feelings, but because of her honesty, she won the favor of the king of France and went to France to be queen.
After King Lear's two daughters distributed the land to their two daughters, after discussion, they decided to let King Lear get rid of his original 100 followers, otherwise King Lear would not be allowed to live in their court. Driven out of the house by his two unfilial daughters, King Lear and his entourage Gloucester met poor Tom in the wind and rain, that is, Edgar, the son of Gloucester who was ordered to be expelled by Edmund's trick.
King Lear thinks this is because he misunderstood his youngest daughter and should be punished by his two daughters.
Later, when he was separated from Gloucester and poor Tom, a saint came to comfort him when he felt sorry for himself. King Lear told the saints about his mistake to Cordelia and expressed his despair with regret: he felt that Cordelia would never forgive him again. But the sage said that cordelia had always loved her father. So this saint is Cordelia. After learning of King Lear's plight in France, she immediately organized an army and secretly landed in England. Worried about King Lear, she came to visit King Lear before the war. Meanwhile, Gonaril and Reagan fell in love with Edmund, who framed his father and brother for the throne.
Finally, the younger daughter's army was defeated, and she and King Lear were arrested. Edmund issued a secret order to hang them. It was not until his death that the secret order was revealed, but it was too late. Although King Lear killed the murderer who tried to assassinate his little daughter, she still died. Edgar found Edmund, fought with him, and finally Edgar killed Edmund. When King Lear went to everyone behind her back, Goneril and Reagan were already dead.
King Lear was so sad that he finally collapsed and died.
