King Lear - Tragedy Written by William Shakespeare

King Lear is the aging monarch of Britain, whose descent into madness forms the central plot of Shakespeare's tragic play. Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters—Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia—based on their professions of love for him. This misguided decision sets off a chain of events marked by betrayal, cruelty, and ultimately, Lear's tragic downfall. His journey from a powerful king to a broken man highlights themes of authority, family dynamics, and human frailty.
