King Lear A Lesson In Loyalty

Shakespeare's good characters, in the play King
Lear, are considered good because they are loyal
even when they are disguised from or
unrecognizable by those to whom they owe loyalty.
In addition, their loyalty does not waver even
when they are banished or mistreated by those to
whom they are loyal. Cordelia, Edgar and Kent are

Lear and his relationship with his daughter

representation of this meaning. The blank cover
expresses the overriding theme of controlling ones
own fate, similar to John Locke's idea of the
tabula rasa (blank slate). Indirectly, ...
