Das Leben und der Tod des Königs Lear by William Shakespeare
"Das Leben und der Tod des Königs Lear" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written around 1606. The play follows the fate of King Lear and his three daughters amid the violent turmoil of a divided kingdom. When Lear banishes his youngest daughter Cordelia for failing a test of love, he sets in motion a devastating chain of events. A parallel storyline involving Earl Gloucester and his two sons mirrors Lear's tragedy,
as loyal children are cast out while disloyal ones scheme for power and inheritance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
