Kent, Lear's servant, is not only loyal to his
king, but also truthful and compassionate.

Gloucester Blindness Eldest Daughters

Theme Of Blindness in King Lear In Shakespearean
terms, blinds means a whole different thing.
Blindness can normally be defined as the inability
of the eye to see, but according to Shakespeare,
blindness is not a physical quality, but a mental
flaw some people possess. Shakespeare s most
dominant theme in his play King Lear is that of
blindness. King Lear, Gloucester, and Albany are
three prime examples Shakespeare incorporates this
theme into. Each of these character s blindness
was the primary...

King Lear A Man More Sinned Against Than Sinning?
A King is supposed to have all that he needs
without having to worry about anything in his late
years. Yet King Lear, in Act 3, Scene 2, cried out
in pitifully: I am a man / More sinned against
than sinning. Although Lear has made a huge
mistake in the first scene of the play in dividing
up his kingdom and banishing his two dearest
people, the sins his two other ungrateful
daughters have done him is far greater than the
extent of Lear s wrongs. A...

Loyal To His King Service And Loyalty Kent
268 words
Service and loyalty are big parts of the plot of
King Lear. Some characters of this play show
complete loyalty and service to the king. One of
these is Kent. Throughout the play, Kent is
completely loyal to his king, even after the Lear
banishes him from the kingdom. This tells me that
some people can be loyal to the end. I believe
that Kent sees that the daughters are not loyal to
their father. He sees right through their false
identities and realizes that Cordelia is the only
one that is truly...

Lear And Gloucester Gloucester Blindness

Although it is never too late to learn, those
lessons learned in old age are the most difficult
and the most costly. In his play KING LEAR,
Shakespeare illustrates that wisdom does not
necessarily come with age. The mistakes that Lear
and Gloucester make leave them vulnerable to
disappointment and suffering at a time in their
lives when both should be enjoying peace and
contentment. Although both Lear and Gloucester
achieve wisdom before they die, they pay a dear

Why do bad things happen to good people? The
majority of society believes that there are no
logical answers to this question. The worst can
happen to the best of us, for no particular
reasons. Unfortunately, this is not always the
case. In William Shakespeare's King Lear, the main
character, King Lear, who claims to be a man more
sinned against than sinning, is responsible for
his own downfall (3. 2. 60 - 61). Though a good
king, Lears actions cause his family and kingdom
to fall apart. The sins...
