Shakespeare's dynamic use of irony in King Lear
aids the microcosmic illustration of not only 16
th century Britain, but of all times and places.
The theme that best develops this illustration is
the discussion of fools and their foolishness.
This discussion allows Shakespeare not only to
portray human nature, but also to elicit a sort of
Socratic introspection into the nature of
society's own ignorance as well. One type of fool
that Shakespeare involves in King Lear is the
immoral fool. Edmund,...
