It tells a powerful story of family, love, power, and greed, and has been performed for centuries. This classic play has been studied by generations of students and scholars, and remains an important part of the English literary canon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary_of_the_Plot\"><\/span>Summary of the Plot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>King Lear is the story of an aging king who decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters. He tests their love by asking each to say how much they love him. Two of the daughters, Goneril and Regan, flatter him with false declarations of love and are rewarded with portions of the kingdom. His youngest daughter, Cordelia, speaks honestly and is rejected. The king gives away his kingdom and goes mad.<\/p>\n<p>Goneril and Regan soon turn against the King, and he is exiled. He is joined by his loyal servant, the Fool, and his loyal knight, Kent. They wander through the countryside, encountering a group of beggars, who tell them of the injustices committed by Goneril and Regan. Meanwhile, Cordelia has been married off to the King of France and is leading a small army to restore her father to the throne.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Cordelia&#8217;s army is defeated and she is taken away to be executed. The King, in his madness, mistakes her for a demon and falls on his sword. Goneril and Regan both die, as does the Fool. Kent, in his grief, dies of a broken heart.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Teachings\"><\/span>Main Teachings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main teachings of King Lear are those of loyalty, love, and humility. Loyalty is demonstrated by the King&#8217;s loyal servant, Kent, who remains loyal to the King despite his banishment. The love of family is demonstrated by Cordelia, who is willing to risk her life to save her father. Humility is demonstrated by the King himself, who realizes his mistake in trusting his daughters and ultimately accepts his fate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_Facts\"><\/span>Interesting Facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>King Lear was the first play to be performed at the newly built Globe Theatre in 1603.<\/strong> The play was a huge success, and is still performed today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>King Lear is the longest play written by Shakespeare.<\/strong> It is estimated that the play takes around four hours to perform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The play has inspired many works of art.<\/strong> The 19th century composer, Carl Maria von Weber, wrote an opera based on the play, and the play has been adapted into a number of films, television shows, and radio dramas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>King Lear has been translated into over 50 languages.<\/strong> It is one of the most widely translated works of literature in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who wrote King Lear?<\/strong><br \/>\n    King Lear was written by William Shakespeare in 1603.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who are the main characters in King Lear?<\/strong><br \/>\n    The main characters in King Lear are King Lear, Goneril, Regan, Cordelia, the Fool, and Kent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the main theme of King Lear?<\/strong><br \/>\n    The main theme of King Lear is loyalty, love, and humility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How long is King Lear?<\/strong><br \/>\n    King Lear is estimated to take around four hours to perform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the setting of King Lear?<\/strong><br \/>\n    The setting of King Lear is in Britain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King Lear by William Shakespeare (1603) Introduction King Lear, written by William Shakespeare in 1603, is a tragedy play about the aging King of Britain, Lear, as he slowly goes mad.
