King Lear is a tragedy compiled by William Shakespeare, depicting the steady descent into madness of the title character, after he gets rid of his kingdom providing bequests to two of his 3 daughters predicated on their flattery of him, bringing tragic consequences for all those. The play comes from the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king; after the British Restoration, it had been often revised having a happy ending for audiences who disliked its dark and depressing tone, but because the 19th century Shakespeare’s original version has been regarded as one of is own supreme accomplishments. The tragedy is particularly noted for its probing observations on the type of human struggling and kinship. George Bernard Shaw composed, “No man will ever write an improved tragedy than Lear.” That is a detailed summary of the perform, re-told in todays vocabulary.
