Hello world!

“Critical guide to King Lear” 

As we all know, Shakespeare’s King Lear is undoubtly Great Work. It has been read for hundreds of years until 21st century and clearly it will be still read by next generations. Therefore, many might wonder what make King Lear so special? Some of the answers we can get in the video titled “Critical guide to King Lear” in which few speakers emphasize the important issues such as the relations parent and daughter, conflict or death which are clearly very relevant even nowadays.  

I like that the short video because of many aspects such as personal opinions of professors, summary of the plot as well as the short scenes from actual movie based on the book. Further, thanks to that video I can better imagine the atmosphere of the play and feelings of the characters. Which is very helpful in understanding the significance of the King Lear.  

The video presents the transformation of the main character, King Lear from being a harsh man who prioritizes the appearance of love over actual devotion to being a gentle man in the reunion scene with Cordelia.  

What I really find helpful in this video is the way they present certain scenes from the King Lear and explaining them in the way that was more appealing to me.
