I.Introduction
Shakespeare (1564-1616) is a distinguished dramatist in the history of English literature. He is also one of the most outstanding writer in western eulogist,and the world’s most eminent astronomer. He has passed down hundreds of literature works, including 38 plays, 155 sonnets, 2 epics and other poems. His plays have a variety of primary language translation, and are performed more often than any other dramatists. The years form 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare’s writing,most of his early plays were comedies and historical plays. Next the year of 1608 he began to create tragedies, including Othello, Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth.In the final phase of his life, he began writing tragicomedy, also known as the legendary drama,and cooperate with other playwrights.
King Lear is one of William Shakespeare’s famous tragedies. The story of King Lear, an aging monarch who is headstrong old man and is blind to his weaknesses, decides to pide his kingdom among his three daughters, according to which one recites the best declaration of love. Goneril and Regan who are the selfish daughters of Lear pretend to love him but later treat him cruelly. Cordelia who is the loyal and unselfish daughter of Lear. He disowns her after confusing her honesty with insolence. Edgar is Gloucester's loyal son and heir and Edmund is Gloucester's evil bastard son. At first the family appear to be loving and caring but this could not be further from the truth. As the characters unfold we find greed, betrayal, lust for power, and cruelty. In other words, they are anything but normal and caring. The end of the play ends in death everywhere. Regan dies after being poisoned by Goneril. Goneril stabs herself to death. Edgar reveals his true identity to his father, but the old man dies. Mortally wounded, Edmund becomes remorseful and countermands his order to hang Cordelia. But it is too late, and Cordelia dies. Lear, now a broken man, falls upon Cordelia and also dies. Holy Bible has a very impact on Shakespeare literature works.
