Hugh M. Richmond deposited Enjoying "King Lear" in the group
LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months ago“King Lear,” like all great tragedies, is surely designed to entertain and illuminate, not to depress an audience – as too many interpretations argue. Lear abdicates to ensure the future of Cordelia, from excessive love of virtue and justice, the violation of which initially drives him mad – with rage – but he progressively goes sane, learning t…[Read more]

Alan Lopez deposited “Trespass and Forgiveness in William Shakespeare’s King Lear” in the group
Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 5 months agoThis article reads the problem of trespass within William Shakespeare’s King Lear. I draw upon eighteenth-century jurist William Blackstone’s notion of trespass, sixteenth-century jurist Jean Bodin’s notion of sovereignty, in order to understand the question of property rights that emerges in Lear’s abdication of his sovereignty.
