reality as it is, in art. Realistic drama is an

Lear And Gloucester Regan And Goneril
1,083 words
In King Lear, Shakespeare has greatly utilized
secondary plots and its parallelism to the main
plot. The effective usage of subplots in King
Lear, as a form of parallelism, clearly emphasizes
the flaws and strengths of prominent characters.
Using such literary device permits the audience to
understand the emotions of the essential
characters in the play. Specifically, the parallel
between Lear and Gloucester displayed in the play
is evidently intentional. Both men initially
commit wrong acts by ...

King Of France King Lear

I found the first act of King Lear to be
interesting, unexpectedly so. In reading the
introduction, I was under the impression that this
story would be dull and slow to develop. Imagine
my shock when the main event happened within a few
moments. I found three major events in the first
act: King Lear tests his daughters love, King Lear
banishes Cordelia, and the King of France
proclaims his love for Cordelia. When King Lear
banished his pet, his youngest daughter, Cordelia,
I was shocked. From th...

Macbeth is a tragic hero, a person of high rank
who is brought to eventual ruin by a flaw in his
character Macbeth's tragic flaw is his ambition,
which leads him to a series of bloody and
increasingly indefensible acts. The most apparent
flaw, and perhaps the most tragic in Macbeth's
character, is his lack of patients and temperance.
These shortcomings haunted Macbeth, causing him to
let his over vaulting ambition rush fate, and
hasten his doom. Macbeth could not wait for an
appointment to a pos...

Journeys of the Underworld Throughout time, Myths

disasters or difficulties were tied together or
somehow the same, the myths tend to overlap. More
important than the similarities are the
differences among the cultures, because all of
them beautifully tell their own side of the story.
