La trágica historia del anciano rey, la ingratitud filial, la locura, el despojo, el engaño, el desilusionado amor paterno, se muestran con tal intensidad −reflejada incluso en el clima− que sobrecogen y conmueven profundamente. El universo de Lear está lleno de contradicciones: donde se debiera respetar la autoridad, se atropella; donde los hijos debiesen honrar a sus padres, los ignoran o traicionan; donde la legitimidad debiese prevalecer...

We know that he married Anne Hathaway, who was pregnant and six years older than he, at the age of eighteen, and that one of their children died of the plague. We know that he left Stratford to seek his fortune in London, and eventually...
