When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has - TopicsExpress



          

When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? Hes written He dies. Thats all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is He dies. It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with He dies. And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know its only natural to be sad, but not because of the words He dies. but because of the life we saw prior to the words.
