King Lear / Analysis Of Double Plot
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper analyzing the twin plots of Shakespeare's play -- that of the dispossession of Lear by his two evil daughters, and the usurpation of Gloucester's lands and power by his illegitimate son. The paper shows that the moral of both stories is the same: that we do not always judge our children according to their merits, but rather by the show they put on -- and when we misjudge those closest to us in this way, disaster cannot help but result. No additional sources cited.

King Lear and Cordelia
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay exploring the irony of Cordelia's continued love and loyalty for and to her father, King Lear, despite his mistreatment of her. The irony is seen in the fact that when Lear finally realizes and can admit his mistake to Cordelia, it is too late. His curse of her has been acted upon.

King Lear's Britain / A World Ruled by Evil ?
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper analyzing the twin plots and three character groupings in Shakespeare's play. The paper shows that each of Lear's characters has some goodness (or at least a readily-understood motivation for his misdeeds), and that it takes mitigating circumstances to bring out his or her wicked behavior. Thus, King Lear's Britain is not truly a world ruled by evil; it was Lear's sin in the beginning that sparks the later evil in the play. Bibliography lists 6 additional sources.

King Lear/ Act II, Scene 4
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes Act II, scene iv, lines 266-288, in which King Lear addresses his daughters in a speech where the reader/audience not only discern Lear's frustration and anger at not having his will obeyed, but also hear his mounting desperation and fear. While, on the surface, the dispute covered in this passage appears to be simply how many servants Lear can keep with him while residing with one of his daughters, a closer examination of this passage places it thematically with the various ways in which Shakespeare dramatizes the foibles in Lear's thinking. No additional sources cited.
